Another beautifully clear day with little in the way of numbers but the Hoopoe gave itself up for a showing granting some excellent quality. Numbers of common migrants were thin on the ground with just a smattering of Blackcaps, Chiffchaffs, WheatearsandSwallows. However, we did have our second TreePipit of the year and the highest Sand Martin count of the spring with 28 passing over. The sea produced five ManxShearwaters, six Red-throatedDivers, a Black-throatedDiver and four CommonScoters. Elsewhere on the island, the Large Tortoiseshells were making the rounds being seen at three separate locations throughout the day.
