Strong winds yet again meant a massive seawatching stint from dawn until near dusk. The highlights of the day were a near continuous movement of Sooty Shearwaters and ending with our second best-ever day count of 351 birds west and also another four Storm Petrels. Other seabirds were relatively scarce again with the 12hr watch producing just a Grey Plover, two Golden Plovers, 19 Bar-tailed Godwits, 26 Knot, three Curlew Sandpipers, (rare off here and with a small party of Bar-tailed Godwits), three Black Terns, 315 Common Terns, 436 Sandwich Terns, four Little Gulls, 98 Kittiwakes, ten Mediterranean Gulls, 43 Arctic Skuas, a Great Skua, 11 Manx Shearwaters and two Balearic Shearwaters and 791 Gannets. Four Little Terns and two Yellow-legged Gulls were also feeding offshore. Passage overhead included two Hobbies, 2081 Swallows and seven Yellow Wagtails. A Spotted Flycatcher and 30 Chiffchaffs were seen in the trapping area.
Three Porpoises and two Grey Seals were feeding offshore.
Elsewhere, the adult American Golden Plover was seen at Jury's Gap just over the border into East Sussex.
