22nd May 2015

A light/moderate south-westerly wind, sunny intervals and temperatures that reached 20 degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, three Red-throated Divers flew south (with two north) and two Sandwich Terns also headed south. A Spoonbill flew south over South Landing early morning, whilst a Green Woodpecker was calling in trees near South Dykes.

Two Dunlin and a Ringed Plover were at Thornwick Pools where the family of Shelduck remained. A Short-eared Owl hunted the cliff top near North Marsh, a juvenile Stonechat frequented North Landing, three White Wagtails remained and a Garden Warbler was at South Landing.
