2nd June 2017

A day of light winds, sunny intervals with light rain for a brief period and temperatures that reached 20 degrees C. Seawatching highlights included 71 Common Scoters flying south, five Manx Shearwaters, 12 Sandwich Terns and a Common Tern.

Two Marsh Harriers flew south, but the day’s highlight related to a first-summer male Golden Oriole that sang at Old Fall early morning before heading west.
