Highlights
from the day seemed to be directed seawards with gems such as Black Guillemot, Pomarine Skua, two Arctic Skuas, and two Common Scoters seen off the South End, whilst 35 Arctic Terns were
watched feeding distantly off the West Coast at midday.
A Grey Heron was the first seen since the
end of March, indicating perhaps a failed breeder passing through? Also seen on
The Narrows were six Purple Sandpipers,
seven Dunlins, six Whimbrels, and 14 Turnstones.
Totals
inland amounted to eight Collared Doves,
three Swifts, 144 Swallows, 20 House Martins, one White Wagtail, one Grasshopper
Warbler, ten Sedge Warblers, one Reed Warbler, one Whitethroat,
nine Blackcaps, 11 Chiffchaffs, three Willow Warblers, three Spotted Flycatchers, one Hooded Crow, one Siskin, 11 Goldfinches, and
four Lesser Redpolls.
