It was an overcast day following overnight heavy rain, with a light northerly wind and temperatures that reached a mere 12 degrees C. Sightings during an afternoon seawatch included seven Eider, a Red-throated Diver, 12 Manx Shearwaters, six Sandwich Terns, an Arctic Tern and a Bonxie all flying north. The day’s highlight pertained to a Golden Oriole seen in flight at midday in South Landing and heard calling there ten minutes later.
