Today the mist eventually dissipated…
and was replaced with cloud and rain, followed by more mist.
The silver lining was a spectacular and sunny evening however.
Some more migrants trickled onto the island today, with a
good variety of different species. Two Sparrowhawks and three Peregrines were
the best concerning raptors, however a moderate number of waders made their way
into log today, 15 Whimbrels, two Curlews, one Redshank and one Common
Sandpiper.
A Cuckoo was seen briefly in the morning, as were the first
ten Swifts for a while. Hirundines accumulated to one Sand Martin, 90 Swallows
and 17 House Martins today, and a Tree Pipit was another vis mig welcome
surprise. Another day worth bashing the bushes today, a Grasshopper Warbler,
eight Sedge Warblers, two Whitethroats, five Blackcaps, 12 Chiffchaffs, 14
Willow Warblers a Goldcrest and three Spotted Flycatchers were the pick of the
bunch.
