6th July 2017

An overcast start to a day that featured sunny intervals and occasional mist; winds were light and variable in direction, with temperatures peaking at 19 degrees C. Seawatch highlights included ten Teal flying south, 504 Common Scoters and three Red-throated Divers north, single Whimbrel, nine Curlew, 42 Redshank and 12 Dunlin heading south, with 15 Sandwich Terns moving in the opposite direction. An adult Mediterranean Gull was also present off the headland. Thornwick Pools attracted a Wigeon, two Tufted Ducks and two Dunlin, whilst a Whimbrel was on the beach at South Dykes.
