Dawn 'till dusk seawatching eventually produced some notable totals with 45 Pomarine Skuas (including a flock of 26 birds) being the highlight. Other bits and pieces included nine Shovelers, eight Velvet Scoters, three Red-breasted Mergansers, our second-best spring day total of 176 Grey Plovers, 135 Whimbrel, 32 Bar-tailed Godwits, 46 Knot, 77 Sanderling, 19 Little Terns, 91 Little Gulls, 22 Arctic Skuas, a Black-throated Diver and two Manx Shearwaters.
It remains very quiet on the land but our first Swifts and Whinchat of the year were seen along with a Red Kite, 30 Swallows, four Yellow Wagtails and a flock of 35 Corn Buntings were of note.
Eight Porpoises and two Grey Seals were feeding offshore.
