11th October 2010









Despite the clear sky last night and this morning were was still some movement over the island.

Best birds of the day were probably the 2 House (above right) and 9 Tree Sparrows, also present were 4 Chaffinches (above) and 3 Redwings, a single Song Thrush (below) and a Blackbird. A Chiffchaff and a Goldcrest (right) were the only warblers around the traps, the Yellow-browed Warbler from yesterday afternoon had not surprisingly disappeared.
Still a steady number of 200 Meadow Pipits and 150 Starlings travelling south with up to 80 Linnets going through during the morning.
Later in the day a flock of 17 Pink-footed Geese flew from Flintshire to the east, a female Blackcap arrived and a late Sandwich Tern was on the sea.
Ringed:-1 Song Thrush, 1 Wren, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Robin
