Nets opened at 0415 until 1100 with Caroline joining in the session, which produced 23 new birds of 5 species including a Whinchat (Buskskvätta).

Raul, Janne & Bosse headed to SUDD with Mikael and Niklas heading north. All reported it quiet for migration though 4 Sandwich Tern (Kentsk tärna) were seen at each location, quite probably the same birds.

Janne & Bosse left the island today to give 6 at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Raul, Caroline, Mikael and Niklas.
