Weather: SE force 5, rain showers
A fairly quiet day for migrants, the best sightings were elsewhere, in particular 38 Red-throated Divers were noted off the north end, a really good count, also 13 Great Crested Grebes, 5 Razorbills, 3 Guillemots and 50 other unidentified auks plus 3 Arctic Terns (1 adult and 2 first winter), probably the same birds as seen here recently. The single Purple Sandpiper from yesterday was still the only bird present.
Twenty Ringed Plover roosting on the island in the sunshine gave a nice show to observers.
Five Grey Plover, 65 Turnstone, 53 Sanderling and 80 Redshank were counted.
Chief among the few small migrants were 13 Starlings, a Skylark, 2 Siskins and a Chaffinch.
