Although arguably the first day of summer, it still felt cool across the headland. There were blustery northerly winds throughout, overcast skies preceded sunny intervals that dominated the afternoon and a high of 14 degrees C. A male Red-backed Shrike showed well throughout the day along a hedge immediately east of South Landing ravine. Rarer still, especially given the influx of the aforementioned species over the last two weeks, a Quail was flushed from the cliff top near Sykes Plantation. In addition, a Fieldfare was a late migrant, while four Siskin visted gardens.
