A bright, clear and virtually calm morning. The Rosy Starling and Common Crossbill were still present in our garden early this morning. Skaw was playing host to an unseasonable Robin but with no migrants evident I decided to walk the headland where I was rewarded with another Rosy Starling accompanying a small flock of Starlings. Valyie was still playing host to the singing Marsh Warbler but otherwise seemed quieter in recent days. At Haroldswick there were 4 Sandwich Terns today. On returning home it was no surprise when a Rosy Starling flew from our feeders but then a considerable surprise when it was followed by another with both then remaining in our garden on and off for the rest of the day. Brenda had been watching 3 Collared Doves feeding in our garden that were also still present and a Swallow was buzzing around. I met up with Mark Holling and revisited Valyie where we heard the Icterine Warbler singing on a couple of occasions in an hour spent there.
