The weather was similar to the previous day, with persistent misty rain all morning clearing up in the mid afternoon, although a shift to a force six northerly wind kept it feeling fresh.
The days highlights were three Black-headed Gulls (a juvenile over the North end and two adults around the Narrows), a Sandwich Tern off the South End, and a Swift over the mountain. Also of note were four Sand Martins around Henllwyn - likely to be the birds on territory however their activity has been inconsistent lately.
Other birds included a Grey Heron hunting around the Narrows and two Feral Pigeons over the mountain.
Last night the team spent a few hours ringing Manx Shearwaters around the Narrows and the South End. In total 35 new birds were ringed, and 60 birds were re-trapped, including one individual which was originally ringed as an adult on 20th July 1988 making it at least 37 years old!
