The land side produced a better birding day than of late with an impressive passage of 500+ Swallow, 80+ Meadow Pipit, 20+ Siskin, 6 Yellow Wagtail, 9 Grey Wagtail and 6 Tree Pipit.
The Obs garden was awash with Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler plus 2 Spotted Flycatcher, a Sedge Warbler, 3 Blackcap and 2 Whitethroat.
Elsewhere, 6 Wheatear, 1 Whinchat, a Grey Heron, 2 Sparrowhawk, 3 Cormorant over and 2 Buzzard that were seen heading out to sea and for a brief moment we thought may have been something else until we realised, they were 2 of the local Common Buzzard taking a short sortie out over the bill and back.
An intermittent sea-watch today produced 6 Balearic Shearwater plus few common odds and sods.
A Barn Owl heard calling after dark and Common Pipistrelle picked up on the bat detector around the garden.
Dragonflies: Common Darter.
Butterflies: Large White, Small White, Red Admiral and Speckled Wood.
