13th July 2015

Light southerly winds, overcast and misty with light rain falling through most of the day. A Blue Fulmar and a Bonxie lingered off the Headland, whilst passage included 12 Manx Shearwaters flying north, 45 Common Scoters also north (and 22 south), one Ringed Plover and 12 Redshank flying south. An immature Pomarine Skua moved south, an Arctic Skua went north, an adult Mediterranean Gull flew south, with 29 Sandwich Terns, four Common Terns and five Arctic Terns all heading north.

Two Siskins were near the Fog Station with another duo at Oceanview, where a Grasshopper Warbler was singing again.
