Another day of rain and wind and very few birds from one end
of the island to the other.
Around 8 Chiffchaff
found, 2 Little Owl seen along with a single (late in the season) Swallow, a couple of Stonechat, a Merlin chasing a Meadow
Pipit, a ♂ Peregrine overhead at Cheyne Weares whilst watching a lightning storm pass through, a (late in the day) Buzzard and a Barn Owl
hunting at dusk.
The Linnet flock
in the crop fields has grown to over 100 birds now.
During the few sunny spells there were quite a few butterflies
in evidence with Red Admiral the
commonest, 3 Painted Lady, 2 Clouded Yellow, a single Small White, Small Tortoiseshell and a Speckled
Wood the latter 3 being residents, also a few Southern Oak Bush Crickets seen.
