Very windy start to the day but this quickly began to
calm down to practically nothing by the evening; there were no grounded
migrants in the Brides census route but birds did include a Little Tern in Nouster with the Arctic
Terns which also included at least 7 1st summer birds, 57 Knot on
the beach at Brides, a brood of 7 half-grown Shoveler ducklings and 3 Collared
Doves.
A
walk late afternoon round the Obs produced another cracking female Red-necked Phalarope on Gretchen with a
nice full summer plumaged Little Stint
before the nets at Holland were full of baby Starlings and the only warbler of
the day – a new Blackcap!
Can't get enough of Arctic Terns!
Three 1st summer Arctic Terns showing enormous variability in their plumages, especially the extent of the black cap and the bill colour
