24th July 2016

After an overcast start, a thick mist rolled in bringing the seawatch to a premature end. The fret cleared later to leave a relatively bright, but overcast day, with light showers in the afternoon. Seawatching was obviously hampered, but still produced three Manx Shearwaters, 22 Dunlin flying south, 61 Sandwich Terns and three Common Terns moving north.

Thornwick Pools attracted a Ringed Plover, two Little Ringed Plover, ten Dunlin, a Knot and one Snipe.
