An unexpectedly birdable warm and clear morning allowed for a fair bit of coverage before the wind freshened to gale force and the temperature dipped as a weather front arrived from the north. The only new species for the year-list was a timely Redpoll over Blacknor, with the island's meagre contribution to a substantial passage of Red Kites along the south coast being a single over Southwell. Routine migrants included 2 more passing Hobbys and a Merlin amongst a spread of ones and twos of typical late spring fare, whilst the sea remained largely uneventful bar 4 ArcticSkuas, a Balearic Shearwater and a Great Skua.
