After some much needed overnight rain, it was a cloudy and cool start, with cloud clearing and temperatures increasing through the day. Highlight of the day was a notable influx of juvenile Mediterranean Gulls with two north on the morning sea watch and an additional bird at South Landing during the evening. Continuing on the gull theme was a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull also at South Lading during the early afternoon. Aside for the Med Gulls, sea watch counts included 4 Teal, 32 Common Scoter, an eclipse drake Red-breasted Merganser, 4 Manx Shearwater, 10 Redshank, 168 Sandwich Tern, 2 Common Tern and 2 Swift.
Thornwick Pools held 6 Teal, 17 Dunlin, 1 Common Sandpiper and a Green Sandpiper. Another Green Sandpiper flew south over Oceanview, where a Cuckoo was also present. An impressive tally of 100 Swifts were over Buckton.
Private gardens on the headland played host to 2 Hummingbird Hawkmoths.
