Light variable winds continued, although light showers brought a subtle change. The morning’s seawatch produced nine Manx Shearwaters heading north, a Blue Fulmar joined the large seabird feeding flock, 673 Common Scoters flew north, as did 42 Sandwich Terns and six Common Terns. Whilst young Guillemots have accompanied adults on the sea for the last week or so, the first young Razorbill did the same today.

Thornwick Pool attracted a single Redshank and a juvenile Little Ringed Plover.
