In continuing favourable conditions, there were still good numbers of birds on the island, although a high proportion of non-movers from the previous day indicated little overall flux of migrants. Scarcities first: The
Greenish Warbler remained at Westness all day, the
Red-backed Shrike was seen near the post office and 2
Barred Warblers were trapped and ringed at Holland House. A
Wood Sandpiper and a
Crossbill were the most notable new arrivals.
Counts of common migrants came to 4
Whinchats, 2
Lesser Whitethroats, 1
Whitethroat, 7
Garden Warblers, 32
Willow Warblers 2
Pied Flycatchers and a
Swift. A
Peregrine was seen in the afternoon, and 5
Grey Herons, 15
Ruffs, a
Black-tailed Godwit, 3
Green Sandpipers and 6
Common Sandpipers were also logged.
