The breeding season is in full swing now, with many of the seabirds around the east side incubating eggs, such as Lesser Black-backed Gulls (top) and Great Black-backed Gulls (lower). Robins, Dunnocks, Pied Wagtails and Stonechats have all fledged their first broods, and many other passerines are showing obvious signs of nesting

Sunday 11 May 2014
It was a day of sunshine and showers, with a fresh westerly wind settling down somewhat towards the end of the day. There was a much reduced passage of seabirds out to sea, with just 233 Manx Shearwaters passing southwards throughout the day; a single Arctic Skua and two 'Commic' Terns also flew past. A good number of waders were forced from their usual hiding places and into more conspicuous localities: a total of 30 Purple Sandpipers, three Dunlins, 26 Whimbrels, three Curlews and a Turnstone were recorded.
