15th August
A
different day with strong NW winds but plenty of sunshine, the wind added a new
dimension into the Fulmar ringing, dramatically increasing their spitting range
if you approached from the wrong side; birds of note seen through the day
included a Sooty Shearwater, a Wigeon, the first Merlin of
the autumn at the Obs, 78 Knot, a Ruff, 6 Black-tailed Godwits, 3 Whimbrel, a
Greenshank, 2 Green Sandpipers, 223 Turnstone, 2 Willow Warblers and the first Tree Sparrow
of the autumn.
