10th Apr

There was no doubt about the highlight of the day when two Purple Herons were found at the Long Pits and then gave good views at times until mid-afternoon. Migrants on the land remain scarce with just 25 Sand Martins, 100 Swallows, 12 Chiffchaffs, two Reed Warblers, three Song Thrushes, 14 Black Redstarts and 11 Wheatears while seawatching was also uninspiring with just three Red-breasted Mergansers and a Whimbrel of any note.

Three Porpoises were seen offshore.
