Skokholm

Highlights on Skokholm today were a Water Rail at Well Pond (just by the entrance to the Heligoland trap,), a Peregrine, several groups of 3-4 well-marked Rock Pipits, 4 Robins, and 4-5 Skylarks. North Pond had a different mix of duck to last week: 15+ Shoveller, perhaps 10 Mallard, and a handful of Teal. Plenty of Herring Gulls on the cliffs, but not many Lesser Black Backs yet.
