3rd May

The highlight today was another Black Kite which flew around the Point before heading inland but other migrants on the land were almost non-existent with just a Buzzard, 25 Swallows, a Garden Warbler and a Yellow Wagtail of any interest. The sea was also generally quiet with a Manx Shearwater, a Little Egret (W), 11 Little Gulls, 12 Mediterranean Gulls, two Black Terns, four Pomarine Skuas and nine Arctic Skuas the best from nine hours of watching.

A Grey Seal and 25 Porpoise were feeding offshore.
