21st July

Pretty hopeless at the Bill today: 7 Sand Martins through overhead and 53 Common Scoter, 24 Manx Shearwaters and 9 Black-headed Gulls through on the sea.

22nd July

Still very quiet. Three Yellow-legged Gulls, 2 Balearic Shearwaters, 2 Turnstones and 2 Arctic Skuas passed by off the Bill where a Willow Warbler was new on the land. The Ferrybridge wader tally consisted of 14 Dunlin, 4 Ringed Plovers and singles of Whimbrel and Turnstone.
