The great weather continued into another day but with the temperature
dropping and the wind increasing as the day went on. A morning walk around the
North End and Nant produced a fleeting Short-eared
Owl and two Grasshopper Warblers
respectively, both of which are new for the year. A female/immature Black Redstart showed well around the
Lighthouse compound, a Storm Petrel
flew past the South End, and the female Bullfinch
continued its residency at Nant.
Other interesting counts from the island include 16 Common Scoters, one Kestrel, two Merlins, one Ringed Plover,
two Redshanks, one Collared Dove, one Sand Martin, 15 Swallows,
two House Martins, 331 Meadow Pipits, one flava Wagtail, 21 White Wagtails, 47 Wheatears, four Ring Ouzels,
three Song Thrushes, one Redwing, 56 Blackcaps, 70 Chiffchaffs,
239 Willow Warblers, seven Goldcrests, one Greenfinch, one Siskin, 42
Goldfinches, 194 Linnets, eight Lesser Redpolls, and one Reed
Bunting.
