The totals for the day came to a female Sparrowhawk, four Buzzard,
two Kestrel, a Water Rail, a Ringed Plover,
four Snipe, two Whimbrel, eight Curlew,
a Turtle Dove, a Wryneck, 16 Skylark, 48 Swallow, 74 Meadow Pipit, 13 alba wagtail, 52 Robin, a Redstart, two Whinchat,
a Stonechat, 19 Wheatear, a Song Thrush,
four Sedge Warbler, the Booted Warbler, five Blackcap, two Whitethroat, 21 Chiffchaff,
five Willow Warbler, six Goldcrest, two Spotted Flycatcher, a Pied
Flycatcher, a Linnet and six Reed Bunting. It was not just birds on
the move; a Vestal was the third for
Skokholm following records in 1960 and 1968. A Hummingbird Hawkmoth was around the Farm.
The Booted Warbler was relocated near the Farm, busy feeding along a wall. It was later seen to fly over the Farm. It was then a surprise find 400m to the south of the Farm and was seen to head northwards this evening. So although mobile, it may stick.
