The degree of shelter from westerly sector winds has enabled quite a bit of ringing to be undertaken this year by the office which would have been very difficult in previous years. Perhaps/probably we were too quick to give up/assume nothing much moved in marginal weather. The rain also held off and any issues monitored on the rain alarm/visual observation across the Bay
Red Nab and harbour area
Med Gull - 2 x ad, 1 x 1CY, 2 x 2CY
Shelduck - 220
Auk spp - one out, probably Guillemot
Kittiwake - ad behind IOM ferry but peeled off very early by old sewage pipe and flew out
Office area
New birds ringed included single Grey Wagtail, Chiffchaff, Robin and about a dozen finch species
Just one Goldcrest seen
No perceptible vis mig in quite low cloud
Moths
Eudonia angustea and Pink-barred Sallow
