A moderate northerly blew all day bringing full cloud cover during the morning clearing for a sunny afternoon and evening. Maximum temperature 14°C.
Seawatching highlights involved two Great Northern Divers, two Manx Shearwaters, a ‘Blue’ Fulmar, a single Whimbrel and 12 Common Scoter.
Yesterday’s six Spoonbills passed over the lighthouse early morning after, presumably, roosting in the Northcliff Marsh area. A Marsh Harrier hunted over fields between Old Fall and South Landing. A first-summer Caspian Gull loafed at Palmer’s Flash where the Shoveler remained. Other highlights included a Greenshank at Thornwick Pools and two Yellow Wagtails.
