A bright and sunny day but with a strong NE wind. Birding was fairly hard going in the strong winds but a female Montagu's Harrier flew out to sea at 1100hrs and single Buzzard and Marsh Harrier were also seen during the day.

 Two Porpoises were feeding offshore and a Brown Hare was seen  at the Fishing Boats.

 The first Emperor Dragonfly of the year was seen.
