Overcast throughout with occasional light drizzle, a light/moderate north/north-westerly wind and temperatures peaking at 16 degrees C. The seawatch was quiet, with a Sooty Shearwater flying south; eight Bonxies and seven Arctic Skuas were also recorded. A Wood Sandpiper was present on the outer head, two Little Egrets were in residence and two Mediterranean Gulls located. The autumn’s first Icterine Warbler was discovered in the Bay Brambles and remained until late evening, whilst increased observer coverage in the same area was rewarded with the finding of a Barred Warbler.
