Weather: WNW force 3/4, by evening NW 2/3
The sea was very quiet today with just 2 Sandwich Tern seen but a Fulmar unusually flew up the east side of the island, normally we see them on the west side where they are considered to be 'prospecting' the cliffs. Sightings of Fulmar in general have become rarer in recent years.
Two male Mallard were on the pond, a single Shelduck was recorded and a female Eider came up the Gutter with the tide.
Waders about the island included 33 Ringed Plover, 2 Turnstone, 45 Dunlin and 50 Oystercatcher. Both the male and female White Wagtail were in Niffy Bay, Little Egret had increased to nine.
