Overnight rain giving way to daytime showers and morning fog made for a damp, murky start to the day. A Force 4 southerly wind was prsent throughout the day alongside, moderate visibility, a sea state of three, and a mild temperatures reaching 19°C.

Wader activity along the coast was led by 34 Oystercatchers, distributed as 21 at Henllwyn, five at Traeth Ffynnon , three at Solfach, three at the West Narrows, one at the Narrows, and one at Carreg yr Honwy. Shoreline counts also included three Curlews (two at Traeth Ffynnon and one at the West Narrows), two Turnstones at Solfach, and a single Redshank at Solfach.

Gulls and coastal seabirds logged a single Mediterranean Gull at Carreg yr Honwy, six Black-headed Gulls (five at Carreg yr Honwy and one at Solfach), 159 Herring Gulls (100 at Pen Cristin, 57 at Carreg yr Honwy, and two off the North End), 13 Great Black-backed Gulls, seven Lesser Black-backed Gulls, 15 Kittiwakes, four Sandwich Terns, four Shags, and three Cormorants at Carreg yr Honwy.

Passerine counts island-wide were generally quiet but featured ten Willow Warblers (six at Nant, four in Withies), alongside single sightings of Chiffchaff and Sedge Warbler both in Withies, 35 Linnets (30 at the Narrows and five at the South End), 18 Swallows, eight Stonechats around Tŷ Pellaf, five Meadow Pipits, three Pied Wagtails at Solfach, two Rock Pipits and six Choughs.

Choughs are finding braking through the parched dehydrated ground hard work, but last night's rain has helped. (c) Steven Stansfield
