It was another good day for Wheatear passage, with a total of 68 recorded around the coast and on the Mountain. A small amount of visible migration took place during the day, consisting of three Sand Martins, 57 Swallows, 12 House Martins, 30 White Wagtails, 10 alba Wagtails and 130 Meadow Pipits. A smart male Common Redstart appeared just above Plas, and was amongst a good number of passerine migrants in the vegetated areas: one Grasshopper Warbler, 79 Blackcaps, 51 Chiffchaffs, 38 Willow Warblers, six Goldcrests and a Lesser Redpoll. Elsewhere on the island, the year's first Bar-tailed Godwit was seen on the Narrows, along with six Whimbrels.
