The following summary only includes records from our resident birders’ health walks and garden sightings; consequently, it provides a mere snapshot of the true scale of our spring migration.

Cloud increased after a relatively bright start, with light rain from late afternoon; winds were moderate from the south-east and temperatures peaked at 11 degrees C. Eight Eider, two Red-throated Divers, six Sandwich Terns and a Bonxie flew past the Fog Station. Sightings on the headland included a Little Ringed Plover, two Whimbrel, a Grasshopper Warbler and 12 Wheatears.
