A Yellow-browed Warbler was present outside Government, and another bird was seen slightly further south west in the Isles of Scilly … The latter bird was ringed on Lundy 11 days prior, and represents the furthest recovery of a Yellow-browed Warbler in this year’s nationwide colour ringing scheme! Let’s hope this is the first of many re-sightings of the 9 (so far) Lundy ringed birds. 2 Jack Snipe were ringed today, one during an early morning Redwing session, and another whilst dazzling at night. 10 Common Snipe were seen, and 10 Snow Bunting to boot. Down to singles of Golden Plover and Lapwing. 113 Redwing and 23 Fieldfare were scattered amongst the fields. Two late Swallows were seen, but the late Whinchat seems to have left us for good. Speaking of late, another Grey Seal pup was sighted today, making it the 70th of the season.
