We kept the cold north-westerlies but they gradually
eased through the day with fewer showers becoming very pleasant by the
afternoon; there were limited new arrivals though as totals included a pair of Garganey near Hooking, 6 Knot, a much improved 264
Sanderling, 294 Purple Sandpipers, 57 Dunlin, 58 Bar-tailed Godwits (the
highest count of the year so far), 5 Black-tailed Godwits, at least 14
Whimbrel, a further increase to 81+ Arctic Terns with birds all over the island
now, a Woodpigeon, a White Wagtail, a Dunnock, 5 Robins, a bit of an influx of
113+ Wheatears, 2 Ring Ouzels, a Song Thrush, 2 Lesser Whitethroats, 4
Blackcap, 5 Chiffchaff and a Brambling.
