24th July 2015

Winds were light, initially from the north and later the east and after a relatively bright start overcast conditions predominated; temperatures of 15 degrees C felt cool. Seawatching produced seven Manx Shearwaters, a Grey Heron, 44 Common Scoter and two Arctic Skuas moving north. Two Bonxies headed south, as did a single Little Gull, with 18 Sandwich, two Common and five Arctic Terns flying north.

A Common Buzzard flew over Mid-Dykes, a Dunlin and two Yellow Wagtails frequented Thornwick Pools and the White Wagtail was in the Lighthouse car-park.
