12th June

There was less coverage than usual today with attention focused on the Island's breeding birds. A few new arrivals were noted though so the spring isn't over just yet. A female Red-backed Shrike near Hooking was the highlight, and a different individual to yesterday's bird, while a singing Lesser Whitethroat at Holland House was also new. Remaining passerine migrants included the same Redstart, a Garden Warbler, just 1 Spotted Flycatcher and 3 Siskins.
