Light winds and another warm day, with thunderstorms in the afternoon. Unfortunately the seawatch coverage was incomplete, a shame given the numbers of waders and shearwaters clearly on the move. Nevertheless, 219 Manx were logged heading south, together with a single Blue Fulmar. Fifty Oystercatchers also flew south, along with 22 Whimbrel, a Greenshank, an adult Little Egret and an adult Roseate Tern.
Thornwick Pool attracted a juvenile Little Egret, Grey Heron, two Teal, nine Dunlin, four Green Sandpipers, together with single Common Sandpiper and Redshank. Two Yellow Wagtails also dropped in, two Bar-tailed Godwits headed south, whilst four Tufted Ducks flew over, with another two of the latter species recorded on the seawatch. A single Willow Warbler was in the hedge behind the hide.
The 400-strong flock of Common Scoters remained distantly off South Landing, where two Little Gulls were also feeding.
