There was a large arrival of Willow Warbler overnight into the 25th, and small numbers continued to move through the island from dawn to dusk. A total of
280 Willow Warblers were recorded, about 60 of which were trapped and ringed, whilst a selection of other warblers included nine
Sedge Warblers, a
Garden Warbler and four
Chiffchaffs. Another juvenile
Marsh Harrier graced the island today, with a bird circling above the observatory mid-morning. A selection of waders at high tide amounted to: one
Lapwing, seven
Sanderlings, six
Dunlins, six
Whimbrels, three
Redshanks, four
Common Sandpipers and two
Turnstones.
