A small movement of 25 Meadow Pipits was noted this morning in hardly any wind and there were at least two Rock Pipits still.
Three Wheatears graced the main island during the early tide.
Three Teal were noted (a single and a pair) but it was the flat calm conditions on the sea that resulted in the best sightings of the day with 188 Great Crested Grebe counted, c4,000 Common Scoter estimated and 63 Guillemot and 3 Razorbill logged.
The highlight of the day were two surfacing Harbour Porpoise off the west side.
There was little in the way of grounded mirgants but half a dozen Robin were noted with one caught and ringed.
After the tide observers retreated to the mainland with the onset of an advancing front and rain set in for the afternoon.
Ringing: Robin [481-32]
