22nd June 2015

After a relatively bright but generally overcast start, the weather rapidly deteriorated, with showery rain throughout and strong northerly winds; temperatures reached 11 degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch four Manx Shearwaters went north, as did 58 Common Scoter, whilst 65 Sandwich Terns moved south. Four Pomarine Skuas lingered offshore, as did a single Bonxie.

Thornwick Pools attracted a Little Ringed Plover and single Crossbill and Siskin were at Old Fall. A Fieldfare in South Landing was unseasonal, but entirely in keeping with the weather!
