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.
A moderate easterly wind dropped in strength during a sunny day, with temperatures reaching ten degrees C. A Great Northern Diver, two Manx Shearwaters, four Sandwich Terns and two Common Terns flew north, with a Mediterranean Gull and an Arctic Skua moving south.
Notable sightings on the headland itself included nine Swifts, a Garden Warbler, one Reed Warbler, a Pied Flycatcher, one Whinchat, four Wheatears, a Tree Pipit and three Yellow Wagtails.
