Sightings of interest
A well attended public guided talk, with 11 adults and six youngsters. Like many of the other talks we've given there was plenty of good questions and a high level on interest in what the Observatory is doing and in the spectacle of migration.
Albin and Anton spent time out this morning migration watching but not much passing the island on these calmer mornings. Their best record was from SUDD near the lighthouse where two juvenile (1cy) Barred Warbler were seen.
Four at the Obs tonight: Chris, Kay, Albin and Anton.
