15th July 2017

A day of moderate westerly winds and overcast skies. During the morning’s seawatch, seven Teal, a Velvet Scoter and 25 Dunlin flew south, with 32 Common Scoter, three Manx Shearwaters, 16 Sandwich Terns and a Common Tern moving in the opposite direction. Single Bonxie and Arctic Skua were also present offshore.

On the headland, a juvenile Marsh Harrier overflew Thornwick Pools, which was also visited by single Little Ringed Plover and Dunlin.
