As the year continues its pledge to be the windiest on record, the clear skies and dazzling sun brought a welcome warmth to what would otherwise have been a cool and biting breeze. The sea was disappointingly quiet but a sprinkling of new migrants added a splash of excitement to the days proceedings. The nets provided singles of
Garden and
Sedge Warbler as well as the now regular smattering of
Willow Warblers. Away from the nets the
Long-
eared Owl was sighted once again coming out of its roost sight, as well as a pair of returning
Wheatears. Highlights on the sea were limited to a single
Balearic Shearwater, four
Manx Shearwaters and just six
Common Scoters.
