18th August 2010

A male Sparrowhawk arrived on the island today, but not much else of note, just 1 Wheatear and a Willow Warbler. Four Little Terns were seen, these have been very scarce around Hilbre this year despite the good breeding season at Gronant. An Arctic Skua and 3 Gannets were on the sea, and an adult Mediterranean Gull was on the shore with the Black-headed Gulls.
