4th June 2017

A day of sunny intervals and moderate westerly winds. During the seawatch, ten Common Scoters flew south, with three Manx Shearwaters, a Little Egret and a Sandwich Tern moving north; a Bonxie again lingered offshore.

A Reed Warbler along Lighthouse Road was a late migrant, whilst a Marsh Harrier frequented Buckton.

Arguably the most notable sighting related to a female Red-veined Darter located near Head Farm.
