Initially a calm day, with increasing amounts of cloud and a south-easterly breeze developing. During the seawatch, ten Common Scoters and 20 Manx Shearwaters flew south, whilst 19 Sandwich Terns headed north. Away from the sea, a Little Egret flew north along the Dykes, a Hobby flew west with prey near the Lighthouse and a Green Sandpiper headed south over the outer head. A Short-eared Owl hunted the Gorse Field, whilst the year’s second Ring-necked Parakeet appeared along Lighthouse Road before flying north. Odonata interest was headlined by a male Vagrant Emperor on the outer head.
