Strong southerlies and showers produced some arrival to the Island with a Golden Plover on the South End, three Redshanks, three Curlews, and a Black-headed Gull on Solfach. The winds brought in many of the Island's breeding seabirds close in at the North and South End, resulting in 1153 Manx Shearwaters, 48 Gannets, eight Fulmars, 53 Kittiwakes, 47 Guillemots, 75 Razorbills, 55 Puffins, 13 Shags and 6 Cormorants

Most of the day was spent catching up on desk work, inputting ringing and breeding bird data.
