An overcast day, with rain at first light, gentle north-easterly winds and temperatures that peaked at 13 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with two Velvet Scoters, 210 Common Scoters, 67 Manx Shearwaters, 16 Sandwich Terns, two Arctic Skuas and two Bonxies all flying north. Thornwick Pools attracted four Little Ringed Plovers, 28 Dunlin and a Common Sandpiper. A flock of 11 Black-tailed Godwits flew south over the headland, as did a lone Greenshank.
In addition, belated news for 19th June: a Rosy Starling frequented the YWT sheep field, at North Landing – the second of spring.
