The day started off very wet, meaning that the week's new guests arrived in heavy rain! This cleared up for a short while in the evening, before the island was smothered in thick fog.
A check of the Narrows at high tide proved successful, with two Whimbrels, six Redshanks, five Common Sandpipers and seven Turnstones. There was also only a single un-ringed adult Ringed Plover on the Narrows, suggesting that the breeding pair were unfortunately unsuccessful in their second brood attempt. Other birds included a Grey Heron on the Narrows, and total of three Chiffchaffs recorded.
