In a day
of a strong winds and odd rain showers a Great
Skua off the North End at midday was probably the highlight, being the
first record of this powerful seabird this year. A dark phase Arctic Skua was also seen flying past the South End in the early hours.
A quite
day on The Narrows too with one Purple
Sandpiper and 17 Turnstones the highlights. Movement of 170
Swallows and 17 House Martins was
noticed overhead and, although warbler counts were minimal today, four Spotted Flycatchers were new in. Final migrant highlights consisted of two Collared Doves, three Siskins, 14
Goldfinches, and one Lesser Redpoll.
