A sunny morning preceded a more overcast afternoon, with spells of very light rain; temperatures reached 21 degrees C with an onshore wind establishing. Nineteen Manx Shearwaters were recorded during a relatively quiet morning seawatch. Several ‘feeding fenzies’ established off the headland during the day and one attracted two Caspian Gulls (2nd and 4th calendar-year) alongside 400 Herring Gulls and eight Lesser Black-backeds. Thornwick Lakes/Pools attracted 32 Tufted Ducks, two Little Grebes and two Dunlin. The highlight was a singing Marsh Warbler at South Landing in bushes on the edge of the car park near the cafe.
