Weather: E force 1/2 with mist. N 2/3 early afternoon.
Conditions looked good first thing and expectations were high when a Grasshopper Warbler was heard reeling in the west gardens, however few non local passerines were noted subsequently, the best being a male Blackcap, a couple of Redpoll, a Swallow, 4 Goldfinches and a few phylloscopus warblers. On the sea around the island were 7 Shelduck calling and displaying.
Only 12 Common Scoter were seen.
Also 14 Brent Geese are still here.
Further out was a single Guillemot, 4 Gannet and 35 Sandwich Tern.
Sixty Turnstones roosted the tide on the island.
