Garden Warbler

A few migrants around The Point today with 40+ birds trapped and processed by the observatory. A sea watch by AJG this morning was a very slow with nothing of note.

 Common Whitethroat

Lesser Whitethroat

 Hummingbird Hawkmoth in the observatory garden

At the ARC the Wood Sandpiper still present along with the Black-tailed Godwit, Common Sandpipers and 3 Garganey along with the many eclipse wild fowl.

 Juvenile Black-headed Gull K13A colour ringed in Latvia

From Firth late afternoon apart from a Black Tern and a couple of Common Sandpipers, the main interest for me was colour ringed Gulls and Common Terns. There are still only small numbers of Sand Martins around the peninsular.

Juvenile colour ringed Common Tern 6L4
It was ringed at 2 weeks old at colony near Arnhem, Netherlands.
Many thanks to Jeroen Nagtegaal for his prompt reply to my sighting.

Colour ringed adult Common Tern 5.63 probably ringed in Yorkshire
