11th June 2015

A day of light south-easterly winds, sunny intervals and temperatures that reached 17 degrees C. The seawatch was rewarded with a Great Crested Grebe flying north, 15 Common Scoter heading north, three Oystercatcher moving south and 40 Sandwich, one Common and two Arctic Terns flying north. A Mediterranean Gull also headed east past South Landing.

Four Stonechats and a Yellow Wagtail were in the North Landing area, but presumed breeding birds, as was another Yellow Wagtail near Old Fall. However, a White Wagtail at North Marsh and single Black Redstart and Fieldfare were most certainly not.
