A great day, calm and generally sunny but some spells of
heavy cloud cover, caught 2 Chiffchaffs at Holland first thing (a new one and a
re-trap from May). Birds around the
north of the island then included some impressive numbers of birds but nothing
really different with 3,500+ Arctic Terns around Bewan and Iris Taing, 135
Dunlin, 98 Knot, a Whimbrel, 350 Golden Plover and 80 Turnstone.
There
were plenty of birds on the way up to the north end as well as the grass fields
were busy getting cut for silage and held 200+ Oystercatchers, 170+ Common
Gulls, 3 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, 30 Curlew and hundreds of Starlings. Two Red-necked
Phalaropes were still on Gretchen.
Red-breasted Merganser
Tysties are still feeding chicks
Tystie food samples - Scorpionfish and Butterfish
The Oysterplant still looks good
