27th June 2018

After an overcast start to the day, sunshine dominated, with temperatures in the high teens and winds remaining light. During the seawatch, eight Manx Shearwaters, four Curlew and single Arctic Skua and Bonxie flew north. The first Guillemot chick appeared on the sea off the Fog Station: fifteen days later than the average over the last decade. Two Little Ringed Plovers and a Dunlin frequented Stainforth’s Flash, whilst a Wheatear at Thornwick was unseasonal.
