A great, flat calm,
overcast day perfect for netting (unfortunately all the nets have been taken
down!) produced a few more already returning waders including 2 Bar-tailed
Godwits, 3 Ruff and 70+ Curlew (with another 38 NW at sea). Other birds on the sea first thing included
an Arctic Skua, 122 Common Scoter, 9 Velvet Scoter, a Common Tern, 18
Red-breasted Mergansers and 5 Fulmars.
The coast was very quiet with plenty of newly emerged
Wheatear fledglings the only thing to keep me entertained while in Lebeltet
there were 2 Spotted Flycatchers and a male Red-backed Shrike.
Plenty of fledgling Wheatears had emerged in the week I was away and were being watched over by very attentive parents
