Calm and clear. Up to six Spotted Flycatchers were around the island, enjoying the wealth of insects and a young Grey Heron in the wetlands was our first immature bird seen this year. The main event of the day was another trip around the East Side, where the Observatory staff caught and ringed the first adult Shag of the season. There were also several more broods of healthy-looking Shag chicks and our first Razorbill chicks loitering on the cliffs too!
