17th June 2019

An overcast day, with light/moderate south-south-westerly winds and temperatures reaching 17 degrees C. Seawatch highlights included a June record count of 13 Gadwall, four Eider, a Manx Shearwater, nine Curlew, a Bar-tailed Godwit, eight Lesser Black-backed Gulls and three Sandwich Terns all flying south.

A Short-eared Owl hunted the immediate environs of North Marsh, whilst a Lesser Redpoll around the Fog Station was also unseasonal.
