The weather consisted of moderate north-westerly winds, prolonged sunny intervals and temperatures only reaching 13 degrees C. It was proved to be another good day’s seawatching, with 12.5 hours rewarded with the following: a Great Shearwater and a Grey Phalarope north late morning, a Storm Petrel north close inshore early afternoon and no fewer than ten juvenile Long-tailed Skuas tracking back north. Additional totals included nine Pale-bellied Brent Geese north, 105 Sooty Shearwaters north, 258 Manx Shearwaters, three Pomarine Skuas (ad & juvenile south, juvenile north), 492 Little Gulls and a juvenile Caspian Gull. The last notable seawatch record was an Osprey south over the sea early evening. A Snow Bunting on the cliff top at the southern end of the Lighthouse Grassland was notable.
