A wing tagged red kite over island this afternoon was the highlight of the day (white tag on right wing, nothing on left). Also today - single grasshopper warbler, tree pipit and white wagtail. 30+ willow warblers, 3 chiffchaffs, 20 blackcaps. Stonechats continue to recover from the hard winters of 2009 and 2010 - good numbers present on CBC (Common Bird Census) this morning.
 
Nice to see visitors again today but looks like it will be a few days before we see any more - SE gales forecast for tomorrow and northerly winds on Thursday.
