Remained pretty hopeless for migrants at the Bill with 2 Wheatears and a Bcap the only grounded arrivals; 2 Yellow Wagtails and a handful of Swifts and Swallows through overhead; 1300 Manx, 26 commic terns, 3 Balearics and a RtDiver through on the sea.

🐣🐥🩵We have our first chicks! The Little Terns, Oystercatchers & Ringed Plovers have incubated their precious eggs & will now raise their young up, it won't be long until they start to make their first steps down to the shoreline to find their wings!🪶 @RSPB @ATChesil pic.twitter.com/0EO62tEv2Q
