A good passage of Swifts today numbering 47 but no surprisingly no hirundines at all. There was a Wheatear and a Whitethroat on the island, a sign of autumn to come, and a sea watch produced 25 Gannets, 278 Sandwich Terns, 15 Common Terns, 2 Little Terns, 2 Guillemots, 50 Shelduck flying south west and a fine summer plumaged Black-tailed Godwit also travelling in that direction.
