After an overcast start and spells of light rain, the day ended with prolonged sunny spells; warm, with temperatures reaching 19 degrees C in a light south-west wind. During the morning seawatch, two Red-throated Divers, four Manx Shearwaters, 13 Sandwich Terns and three Common Terns flew past the Fog Station.
The day’s highlight related to a Red-rumped Swallow over Bay Brambles near the lighthouse at 0935hrs that soon departed. Other notable records included a Long-eared Owl, a Spotted Flycatcher, one Black Redstart, six Wheatear and a White Wagtail. In addition, a Quail called from barley fields at Buckton.
