Skokholm

Rather similar to Skomer. A Wryneck to the west of Home Meadow may well have been different to the bird earlier in the week. Other migrants included 21 Teal, 14 Common Scoter, a Water Rail, a Curlew, 28 Lesser Black-backed Gull, 70 Swallow, a House Martin, 90 Meadow Pipit, 23 alba wagtail, 25 Robin, 30 Wheatear the majority of which arrived with the rain in the afternoon and included at least ten Greenland race birds, four Sedge Warbler, two Blackcap, 30 Chiffchaff, four Willow Warbler, four Goldcrest, two Spotted Flycatcher and three Starling. Three Porpoise and 12 Common Dolphin showed well off the Lighthouse.
