an impressive weather front moving through the island mid-afternoon |
Not many waders were to be seen, with the highest numbers being 26 Dunlins, all in parties heading south over the coast. 21 Oystercatchers, 12 Curlews, ten Turnstones, eight Redshanks and singles of Ringed Plover and Whimbrel were also noted.
Passerine migration was very modest today, overhead there were 42 Swallows, four Grey Wagtails and a single Siskin. On Solfach, Rock Pipits had increased to 30 and there were 25 White Wagtails around, while a very limited selection of warblers and other species were present; 20 Goldcrests, five Willow Warblers, four Chiffchaffs and two each of Whitethroat and Blackcap all that could be mustered up.
