2nd Oct

Heavy rain and strong easterly winds overnight and for much of the day produced our first Yellow-browed Warbler of the year with one seen briefly in the trapping area. Other grounded migrants were few and far between and overhead passage was also very slow. Some seven hours of seawatching produced 15 Gadwall, a Sooty Shearwater, six Little Gulls and a few Arctic Skuas of note.

Three Porpoises and a Grey Seal were seen offshore.
