I visited Tory for the day with Ger Murray despite good looking conditions the only warbler found was a Lesser Whitethroat. Other birds of note included a jack Snipe and 2 confiding Snow Bunting

| Rain overnight continued till midday |
All quiet in west town with few waders and no migrants. On the way out of west town Ger found a Lesser Whitethroat, the only warbler of the day.
The lake was quiet, but we flushed a Jack Snipe from the western end.At the ruined house close to the lighthouse a male Snow Bunting showed very well.
