The weather consisted of moderate south-west winds, sunny intervals and temperatures reaching ten degrees C. Seawatching was quiet, with seven Purple Sandpipers below the Fog Station the most notable sighting, along with four Rook heading south; a not unusual record during ‘early spring’.
A skein of 60 Pink-footed Geese flew north, eight Eider sheltered on the sea between the Fog Station and South Landing, whilst five Lapwing and a Woodcock frequented the Oceanview area, where a single Lapland Bunting was also located. Sightings from Buckton included 100 Yellowhammers and 30 Corn Buntings.
