A sunny day, with a blustery west-south-west wind developing and temperatures reaching 17 degrees C. It was another quiet seawatch with two Manx Shearwaters, an Arctic Skua and 25 arbour Porpoise the most noteworthy records.
A total of 215 Pink-footed Geese overflew the outer head, along with seven Golden Plovers and a Marsh Harrier. Meanwhile, the juvenile Merlin continued to hunt the Lighthouse Grasslands. Thursday’s Barred Warbler was relocated at Old Fall, albeit it remained elusive; two Yellow-browed Warblers there contributed to a total of eight Yellow-broweds on the outer head. Also in residence were a Willow Warbler, 17 Goldcrests, one Ring Ouzel, a Lesser Redpoll and three Brambling.
