Observers were not optimistic considering the weather forecast and attention soon turned to the sea with the first 7 Razorbills of the spring recorded along with an adult Kittiwake, a single Red-throated Diver and 8 Red-breasted Mergansers.
Two Canada Geese took up temporary residence on Middle Eye - a regularly occurring species at this time of year but a rare sight ‘down’ on the islands.
The semi-resident 6 Eiders we’re temporarily joined by an adult pair just off Middle Eye over the tide.
Mid morning a Wheatear was discovered at the North End and provided observers with good views between rain showers for the remainder of the day including by the light and on 'Wheatear wall'.
