Back this morning from Skomer Island after leading a 3-day Spring Migration event. Clear highlight was this morning as we left - at least 10 Ring Ouzel around the farm, at one point 9 flying in the air together across North Valley. Never seen anything like it! More migrants around this morning including a decent arrival of Blackcaps. Also a very smart Tree Pipit outside the hostel window yesterday and again this morning. We also managed to read several Wheatear colour rings, originating from Skokholm, to feed in to Ian Beggs fascinating research.
