Today was quieter for migrants but still resulted in some passage, as a brief morning seawatch produced an Arctic Skua, five Common Scoters, six Black-headed Gulls, three Sandwich Terns, and 50 Razorbills. The main highlights of the day were seeing an influx of Robins onto the Island, with 49 being recorded in total, as well as ringing a Pied Flycatcher at Cristin garden - the first ringed this year.
