Up to 26 Snow Bunting were feeding in Southwest Field again today. 6 Common Snipe, 2 Jack Snipe, 2 Woodcock, 2 Golden Plover and a Lapwing made for pleasant company. 51 Skylark loitered, along with 18 Linnet, the highest count for a good while. Although harder to spot due to the building wind and waves, seabirds continued to feed to the east of Lundy, including at least 118 Herring Gull, 67 Gannet, 60 unidentified Auks and 35 Great Black Backed Gulls. At North Light, 6 Razorbill were joined by a single Porpoise, all under the watchful gaze of a Black Redstart. The Hen Harrier patrolled the island, alongside 4 Kestrel and a pair of Peregrines. Finally, for the little birds: 8 Chiffchaff, 8 Goldcrest, 2 Firecrest and a single Swallow showed for us.
