Little change in the weather – another sunny, warm day with a maximum temperature of 19°C in a light northerly which had veered east by mid-morning.

The morning seawatch produced highlights of 41 Common Scoters, 21 Sandwich Terns, 2 Common Terns and 29 Manx Shearwaters.

Yesterday’s two Little Ringed Plovers remained at Thornwick Pools with little else noted other than local birds. A late report related to a Nightjar churring last night on the western edge of the village.
