Another calm day saw a light scattering of common migrants recorded, which included a
Mistle Thrush, two
Swifts, 115
Swallows, 73
House Martins, four
Sedge Warblers, two
Whitethroats, six
Chiffchaffs, and one
Spotted Flycatcher. A large proportion of the afternoon was spent counting seabirds around the East Side, and the resulting figures included the following: 1089
Razorbills, 692
Guillemots, 36
Puffins, 294
Kittiwakes, 62
Shags and seven
Fulmars. At the same time, the first few seabirds of 2015 were ringed, including an adult
Kittiwake, a
Herring Gull chick, and also a brood of four
Chough chicks.
A Chough brood of four chicks were ringed and fitted with colour rings
The south Peregrine pair have two chicks, which are not as yet quite big enough to ring
