Painted Lady.

         Grounded migrants at the south end this morning were 5 Pied Flycatchers, 2 Spotted Flycatchers, 2 Wheatears, 5 Whinchats, 4 Common Redstarts, 6 Willow Warblers, 2 Chiffchaffs, one Garden Warbler, 2 Common Whitethroats, 2 Lesser Whitethroats, one Blackcap, one Robin, one Song Thrush, 2 Siskins and a Yellow Wagtail.

         Eight Common Buzzards were soaring together over the coastal fields and 2 more came in off the sea at 1130.   110 Swallows and 30 House Martins were feeding around the coastguard cottages before eventually departing to the south.

         Birds on the flashes included a Garganey, 19 Teal, 9 Mallard, 4 Little Grebes, 4 Coots, 2 Little Egrets, one Grey Heron, 2 Water Rails, one Greenshank and one Green Sandpiper.   37 Redshanks were on the shore with 38 Curlews and 3 Cormorants, but only 3 Sandwich Terns were seen fishing at sea.

      60 Stock Doves made a good count and a solitary House Sparrow was a scarce sighting.
