Skokholm

Sorry for the late posting and thanks Daves for putting the news out. Jeremy Moore photographed a Pectoral Sandpiper on North Pond this evening. He left it after ten minutes to check a field guide and it was not seen again. A trickle of migrants included 30 Dunlin, 12 Turnstone, a Merlin, a Collared Dove, a Swift, 24 Wheatears including a few obvious Greenland birds and a Greenland bird trapped, 13 Sedge Warblers, four Blackcaps, two Whitethroats, 15 Willow Warblers and a Lesser Redpoll. The third Water Rail of the year to be trapped was at the Well.
