Sunshine and showers again
through the morning but a dry and bright afternoon with a moderate southerly
wind; the Brides census route was highlighted by a cracking male Grey-headed Wagtail on the beach at Brides (not a classic through with some greeny
patches in the dark grey head and some little white flecks on the lores) but
island wise, the day’s real highlight came after I got back as I had to race
back to Brides as a LITTLE RINGED PLOVER was
found on the pools at the end of the Viggay track by someone who went looking
for the Wagtail – only the second island record after one in May 1994!
There was pretty much nothing else to mention on
census with 5 Swallows and 2 Sand Martins around Brides where there were also
10+ Wheatears on the beach. A smart
Mealy Redpoll was at the Obs and the only other bird to mention.
