 Black Tern on Burrowes

Yesterday The Desert and TA were full of Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs, with streams of Meadow Pipits and good numbers of Siskins overhead, also at least 10 Wheatears. Today most of the Warblers had filtered away leaving a handful of Common and Lesser Whitethroats, though there was 1,000s of House Martins and Swallows were over the peninsula early morning. With northerly winds the sea was very quiet. At the ARC most of the waders have departed but 3 Glossy Ibis were nice, 6 each of Cattle Egrets and Great White Egrets could be found on the reserve , but it was generally quiet.
The Gulls have started use Burrowes for roosting with a Caspian gull and Yellow-legged Gull along with several colour ringed birds.
