24th June 2015

A very light variable wind, generally overcast although significantly warmer with temperatures reaching 19 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with a Red-throated Diver flying south, 177 Fulmars moving north, 22 Manx Shearwaters doing the same, 47 Sandwich Terns north and three Common Terns also moving north. Two Pomarine Skuas were again offshore, along with four moulting drake Eider.

Six Lapwing were new, with single Siskins frequenting both Oceanview and the Outer Head gardens.
