20th May 2015

Sunny intervals throughout, with mainly light northerly winds and temperatures that peaked at 13 degrees C. During the seawatch, two Blue Fulmars flew north, together with 192 Fulmars, four Sandwich Terns also flew past and three Arctic Terns went north.

The highlight consisted a Hen Harrier that flew east over Thornwick early morning, whilst there were three Little Ringed Plovers on the Pools. A Turtle Dove appeared near North Marsh, with other interest provided by a late Redwing, a Reed Warbler near the Lighthouse, a single Goldcrest, five Wheatears, one Stonechat, two White Wagtails and a Tree Pipit.
