Excessive pitch zree and trilling calls from the Goldcrest household celebration proceed to whisper throughout the valley and native Chiffchaff, Blackcap and Whitethroat (together with a pristine, just lately fledged juvenile) busied themselves feeding up forward of tomorrow’s foul climate. The island’s Woodpigeon depend has risen barely to eight people and post-breeeding Shag feeding teams are starting to construct with 42 actively feeding across the Touchdown Bay. Tomorrow’s forecast might look bleak to some – nevertheless it has seawatching shearwaters written throughout it!
