 Little movement today but still lots to see. The breeding season is well underway and our first Rock Pipit of the year have fledged! with two seen on the east side this afternoon. 

Chough numbers swelled with a flock of 22 passing along the West Coast, presumably birds from the mainland coming for a visit.  A Sanderling was on Solfach this morning and three Whimbrels were recorded also. 23 Swallows , 19 House Martins, five Chiffchaffs, three Sedge Warblers and one Willow Warbler were the only other sightings of note during the day. In the evening, a Dotterel gave a tantalising flypast as it flew north and called over the Observatory.
