Weather: SE force 2/3
A clear blue sky and a south easterly is not always helpful in bringing migrants to the island. A single Sand Martin with possibly a couple of Swallows were the only small migrants this morning, arriving to visit the residents.
The singing White Wagtail was still here however. On the sea 5 Gannets, 2 Great Crested Grebes, a pair of Common Scoter, 80 Sandwich and 14 Common Terns were logged.
The only duck species were 4 male Mallard, 6 Shelduck and 5 Eider.
The best sighting off the island were 3 Harbour Porpoise that were seen swimming passed. Twenty two Whimbrel today, a good count again, one seen with a colour ringed Curlew.
There were also 12 Ringed Plover, 2 Knot and 85 Dunlin. A Common Blue butterfly took advantage of the sunshine.
