Cape Shelduck that has been at Scotney for a few months has turned up on the Cormorant Island at the ARC tonight.

There have been small numbers of Redstarts, Spotted and Pied Flycatchers, Warblers, Whinchats and Wheatears around the Peninsular though finding them has been hard work, the Wryneck was present for at least 3 days but it was so elusive that I along with most of the locals failed to see it. Hopefully the the forecast easterly winds for next week will bring more birds.
