Very little on site today in the way of migrants, just 6 Wheatear, 4 Blackcap and a Willow Warbler being the most noteworthy. Swallows passed through in very small numbers, whilst offshore around 100 Black-Headed Gulls passed through south along with 7 Common Gulls and 5 Canada Geese( an unusual occurrence for the site). Also, this time going north were 2 Red-Throated Divers, 15 Dunlin and a Shoveler.

A total of 9 birds were ringed . 4 Blackcap, 2 Wheatear, and one each of Blackbird, Linnet and Wren.
