The weather consisted of sunny intervals, light onshore winds developing in the afternoon and a high of 22 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with a flock of five Little Terns flying south, the first record of the year, along with 66 Common Scoters, ten Arctic Terns and 127 Sandwich Terns all flying north; a lone Arctic Skua moved south. Thornwick Pools hosted a Little Egret, the juvenile Greenshank, a Green Sandpiper and four Dunlin, while a single Little Eget also flew west past Beacon Hill. The most notable passerine records involved a ‘migrant’ Willow Warbler at Beacon Hill and a Crossbill at Oceanview.
