2nd May

Light winds failed to produce much on the land and the sea was fairly quiet. Over eight hours of seawatching produced three Pomarine Skuas and seven Arctic Skuas along with a Velvet Scoter, 16 Ringed Plovers, 157 Whimbrel, two Little Gulls and two Mediterranean Gulls while four Little Egrets flew out. A Fieldfare, a Whinchat, five Yellow Wagtails and 40 Corn Buntings were of note on the land. 

Ten Porpoises and three Grey Seals were seen offshore and six Brown Hares were seen in and around the Desert.
