Strong southerly gales and heavy rain signalled the arrival of summer and led to
some extended seawatching. The first four Pomarine Skua of the year were offshore in
the evening, but the highlight was the continuing presence of 20 Roseate Tern in the morning with at 13
heading south in the evening. Also offshore during the day two Storm Petrel, four Great and an
Arctic Skua, 321 Manx Shearwater, 119 Kittiwake, 53
Common, eight Little and
three Arctic Tern, 27 Fulmar,
14 Great Northern and a Red-throated Diver. Elsewhere a Spotted Flycatcher was in Dead Dolphin Wood,
107 Swift passed through in the evening and wader counts included 28
Sanderling, 14 Dunlin, three Turnstone and a Grey
Plover.
