At Scotney a fine Black Tern with at least 4 Little Gulls all of which kept their distance, a Yellow Wagtail was found there by SM. Late afternoon a female Common Redstart was found at the southern end of the trapping area by JS. There were very few new migrants to be found on the Peninsula today, hopefully better tomorrow.
