A female Red-breasted Merganser south on the seawatch was good spring record, with 70 Common Scoter south and 69 north! 4 Manx Shearwater also  went south as well as a dark phase Arctic Skua north. The 2 Mute Swan remained on Thornwick Pool and a Greenland Wheatear was on Cattlmere (next to Gorse Field). Among the passerines, best were a Spotted Flycatcher in Old Fall and a Redwing in gardens near the lighthouse with trickle of Swallows heading south.
