A relatively overcast, but warm day, with light westerly winds and temperatures reaching 18 degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, five Common Scoter, 12 Manx Shearwaters and a Common Tern flew north; a Red-throated Diver and 29 Sandwich Terns moved in the opposite direction.
The Egyptian Goose lingered on the outer head. Rare in spring, a Curlew Sandpiper was a surprise, accompanying single Ringed Plover, Little Ringed Plover and Dunlin. Seven Lesser Black-backed Gulls flew north, whilst passerine migrants included a Redwing and six Spotted Flycatchers.
