A small arrival of migrants today with our first Wood Warbler of the year along with 4 Willow Warblers in the bushes at the Obs and 3 Swift flew south overhead. On the reserve 3 Wheatears were feeding out on the grass as was a Whimbrel before it flew off south. Offshore 2 Redshank, 2 Whimbrel, 1 Little Egret & 1 Turnstone headed south.

Despite the wind several butterflies were about including another Clouded Yellow by the Obs.

3 Birds ringed; Willow Warbler, Robin & Greenfinch.
