Beautiful again, sunny and warm with a feather-light onshore breeze; the highlight once again was the fine adult Rose-coloured Starling which spent a bit of time first thing out on the common in front of the Obs but it never stayed in one place for long and soon disappeared towards town.
Other birds included an unseasonal female Firecrest trapped and ringed first thing, 2 Black Redstarts, dispersing juvenile Greenfinch and Chaffinch (presumably from fairly local nest sites – although not on the reserve), 2 Common Terns, a Kittiwake, 2 Sandwich Terns, 12 Swallows south and a Swift.
