29th June to 1st July

Highlights have included the Black Tern again in colonies near the Lighthouse on 30th June, the singing Quail still on the same date and daily sightings of Crossbills, with 5 on 29th, 7+ on 30th and 2 south on 1st. The unseasonal Whooper Swan remains with us (to 30th at least), while there was also sightings of a Swift and female Blackcap on the 29th, Collared Dove on the 30th and Kestrel and Woodpigeon on the 1st July.
