17th July 2016

Another fine, warm day with prolonged sunny spells and light/moderate south-westerly winds. During the seawatch, seven Common Scoter, four Manx Shearwaters, 17 Sandwich Terns and an Arctic Skua.

A creamcrown Marsh Harrier flew west over Whelkie Wynds and two Little Ringed Plovers frequented Thornwick Pools.

Overnight three Storm Petrels were trapped at South Landing, including one control.
