A gorgeous, sunny day
without a cloud in the sky but we kept the strong, chilly SE wind; a few hours
spent punding the sheep in the morning produced some pretty decent vis mig over
the south end of the island with a steady stream of Meadow Pipits heading out to
the SW along with a few alba Wagtails and a single Brambling which left with
some Pipits but soon came back! A few
flocks of Common and Black-headed Gull also came in from the south as well as
15 Curlews and a Bar-tailed Godwit.
I walked the northern census route from mid-morning
but it was disappointingly quiet with only a few flocks of Common and
Black-headed Gulls heading out to the north to carry on the vis mig theme;
other birds included a Black Redstart, a White Wagtail and the usual spread of
Robins, Blackbirds and Fieldfares.
