Quieter bird-wise at the Bill today: a Balearic and a Whimbrel through on the sea, a Ringed Plover + a trickle of departing Swifts and hirundines overhead, 2 Yellow-legged Gulls and 2 Yellow Wagtails on the land.

After an inexplicable/painful dip during the influx at the back end of June it was a surprise to catch a Scarce Spindle Ermine at the Obs last night; arrived in tandem with a small influx of 18 Willow Ermines and 3 Small Marbled, whilst a Large Birch Roller was an oddity for these parts
