12th-13th July

12th July

A very quiet day, as much because other commitments saw to it that there was precious little serious fieldwork. 7 Swallows, 5 Sand Martins and 2 Grey Herons left to the south at the Bill.

Good passage of terns off the Bill this mrng: 39 Sandwich, 25 commics and a Little; 28 Common Scoter and 2 YLGulls lingering + 5 Shelducks and 2 Whimbrel thru. Trickle of Swifts and hirundines still departing overhead but no other grounded migrants beside the Sedge Warbler.
