Lade - warm, dry, sunny, ne 3 - Nothing much to report on the local patch this morning apart from a trickle of Yellow Wagtails and Sand Martins overhead, a Reed Warbler beside south lake, Stonechats and a Wheatear in the Desert and a few Chiffchaffs and Whitethroats in the bushes around the ponds. Around midday several Chiffchaffs were noted in the garden while Sandwich Terns noisily passed over the cottage throughout the day. A Blood-vein was the best of a mediocre catch in the garden moth trap.
An hour at the fishing boats this afternoon with MC and TG delivered a few fishing Sandwich Terns and Gannets, plus singles of Manx Shearwater, Great and Arctic Skuas. There was little change to the birds around the reserve from the past few days (MC).
