23rd-24th June

The weather continued in the same Easterly fashion, migrant wise things slowly began to pick up as we entered the final week of June.

A drake Common Scoter off the Links was our third record of the species this year and the Little Terns on the links have also began to exhibit some interesting behaviour so we'll keep an eye on that. 

Elsewhere a Crossbill made its way into Holland from the Kirkyard and two more were feeding on Rosa-rugosa around the obs trapping area. A Chiffchaff was also in Holland as was the Whitethroat from previous days. 

The next day was much the same as the previous. Another unseasonal Redstart, this time a male was trapped at Holland in the morning, a Crossbill went out South over the Lurn and a Quail was singing around Brides.
