Info Post
A couple of sessions on Wooltack in the last few days saw me totally miss Dave B's Dolphins; there have been very few porpoises in evidence either. Bird highlights, however, have included 3 Sandwich Terns, a male Common Scotor and a summer plumage Red-throated Diver, as well as a Whimbrel that landed straight on top of the Point for a rest. Still a fair number of auks around, mainly Razorbills, and the odd Manxie in St Bride's Bay.
On the Deer Park there are good numbers of Stonechats and Linnets, with a mix of Wheatears and White Wagtails (up to a dozen of each in the mornings) also passing through.
In the valley, a Reed Bunting, probably half a dozen Willow Warblers, several Whitethroats and an influx of Robins, causing frequent scraps with the 2 resident (ringed) birds.
Off the Gann yesterday morning there was a Manxie swimming on the water rather feebly. I hope it made it, but rather doubt it.
