24th Apr

Overcast conditions and a light NNE breeze failed to produce very much with a steady trickle of birds passing east offshore including three Shovelers, 15 Whimbrel, 328 Bar-tailed Godwits, three Little Terns, just singles of Great and Arctic Skuas and a Black-throated Diver of note. There was a small arrival of Lesser Whitethroats and a Garden Warbler on the land while a Greenshank flew over the Long Pits and 102 Swallows came in.

Three Porpoises were feeding offshore.
