A grey and overcast day which felt quite autumnal on the morning patrol. The highlight came early with an Arctic Skua which flew low over the Narrows in the morning, just our second of the season so far. There were three Common Sandpipers around the island, with a single on the South End and two at Solfach with a summer-plumaged Turnstone at the latter site being the first returning one of autumn, after a mere three weeks with no records. A Curlew also flew along the West Coast.
