GEDSER - 10th August

Still very windy so a pretty similar day to yesterday all in all with just 19 new birds in the nets but these did include 2 Common Rosefinches, 2 Icterine Warblers and a Marsh Warbler.   A look out on the point in the afternoon (1400-1530) produced a few bits with an Arctic Skua, a Red-necked Grebe, 3 Knot, 2 Grey Plover, 23 Arctic Terns, 54 Common Terns, 33 Sandwich Terns, a Marsh Harrier, 2 Kestrels and 3 Swifts heading south while the juvenile Black Guillemot was again just offshore.
