Another day with migration ticking over nicely. In the absence of any real surprises it was the selection of common migrants that entertained: 100
Willow Warblers, 80
Yellow Wagtails and 60
Wheatears were decent enough totals for an almost cloudless day at the Bill, with 4
Grey Wagtails, 3
Reed Warblers, 2
Spotted Flycatchers, 2
Blackcaps and singles of
Purple Sandpiper,
Yellow-legged Gull,
Garden Warbler and
Lesser Whitethroat amongst the lower totals. More of the same at Barleycrates Lane suggested that some respectable all-island totals might have been accrued with better coverage.
Balearic Shearwaters were again on fair form, with 43 through off the Bill, where another
Arctic Skua also passed by.
