7th June


Still nice and sunny but the blazing strong westerly wind returned producing a few things on the sea first thing including 2 Sandwich Terns – a scarce bird here, only the second record this year and a Manx Shearwater in amongst a few Gannets, Fulmars, Auks and Kittiwakes while the adult White-tailed Eagle did another close fly-by.   There was not much through the rest of the day (although I didn’t put that much effort in!) with the Woodchat Shrike still on the northern side of Lebeltet (it seems likely that it is the same bird seen at Spangereid a few weeks ago which was ringed towards the end of its stay and this bird is also ringed), the usual Red-backed Shrikes, Wryneck, Spotted Flycatchers and Whinchats still dotted about the place and the male Marsh Harrier again cruising over the fields.
