A day of variable light winds, occasional showers throughout and temperatures that reached 12 degrees C. Rewatching was rewarded with 28 Common Scoters, a Red-throated Diver, six Manx Shearwaters, two Sandwich Terns and a Common Tern flying past the outer head. A Pink-footed Goose remained in residence, but with no sign of yesterday’s Thrush Nightingale the most notable passerine was a single Spotted Flycatcher. Sixteen Corn Buntings represented a notable record at Buckton.
