Sunday 20th May 2018

Thick fog began to clear by mid-afternoon, though the sun only came out briefly before fog rolled back in mid-evening. Wind was a moderate south easterly, with temperatures peaking at 12 degrees centigrade.

Birding on the land was hard work with the weather conditions. A single Spotted Flycatcher was near North Landing, whilst a Lesser Redpoll was at Oceanview. Thornwick Pools hosted 2 Dunlin, 1  Ringed Plover, 3 LRP and a drake Shoveler.

A single Little Tern and Manx Shearwater were reported from a sea watch at North Landing during the afternoon.
