21st - 24th June

Coverage hours have dropped significantly as efforts are focused on other projects and ringing the chicks of our breeding birds. The Grey Phalarope continued to entertain and 2 little Gulls remained to 23rd at least, 2 Collared Doves, and a new Chiffchaff were present on 24th when increasing numbers of Golden Plovers reached 91.
The Turtle Dove and 2 House Martins were on 21st, a Pochard on Bewan on 22nd, 32 Knots were on Gretchen on 23rd when a Whimbrel flew south and a single Red-throated and 2 Great Northern Divers lingered on.
