I spent very interesting day around the observatory where 80+ birds were trapped and ringed. At least 2 Woodcocks were seen, 1 in The Moat and another came in off the sea and flew past me at the lighthouse and disappeared towards the observatory. A Merlin flew over The Moat, 2 Swallows, a Fieldfare and a Mistle Thrush flew over The Desert, also several Brambling, Siskin and Redpoll flew over the observatory.
A short sea watch by AJG was a complete non event.
A very nice P collybita tristis ringed late morning

A gorgeous Yellow-browed Warbler was among lots of Goldcrests ringed and seen today
This smart lad was huge with a wing of 70mm, probably a continental bird. I believe 25+Blue Tits were ringed today, a single flock of 32 flew NW over the observatory this morning with many more being seen.
1 of at least 5 ringed today
The Firecrests in the bushes were very uncooperative today
The only Redwing caught today
This big lad probably of continental extraction found its way into the Heligoland late afternoon
