Light north-easterly winds throughout a day that started overcast and ended with sunny intervals; temperatures reached 14 degrees C. Seawatch highlights included 206 Common Scoters, 13 Manx Shearwaters, three Sandwich Terns and a Bonxie. Four Green Sandpipers hinted at return passage, as were a couple of Curlew heading south-west. A lone Wheatear was also a migrant, although more likely to be still heading north.
