A day of light/moderate westerly winds, sunny intervals and temperatures of 13 degrees C. Highlight was a Little Bunting photographed by a visitor near the Lighthouse during the morning; despite searching, it was not relocated.
A Firecrest, the seventh of spring, was located along the hedge running south from the Lighthouse towards the cliffs. Three Ring Ouzels were present on the Outer Head and a Short-eared Owl hunted the Golf Course during the evening. Common migrants increased in number, with 21 Wheatear, 12 Blackcap, 18 Chiffchaffs and a scattering of Willow Warblers across the Headland.
