A total of 51 new birds of 14 species including the 3rd Cuckoo of the year and a late Common Rosefinch.
A guiding for 4 people took place at 1030.
Gunilla and Lasse spent the morning looking for plants, none of which were considered to be on migration just yet!!!
Peter spent the early morning at the Lighthouse migration watching and he confirmed that no plants were seen passing his location.
All three members left the island today, so just Chris & Kay overnight.
