Monday 13th May

A wet day with rain from 8.30am, offshore an immature Pomarine Skua flew SW at 9:40 ahead of the arrival of heavier rain. Also offshore 37 Gannet, 31 Kittiwake, 25 Manx Shearwater, six Great Northern Diver, four Sandwich Tern and three Common Scoter.

The immature Peregrine was again disturbing waders around The Bight where counts included 18 Whimbrel, 15 Dunlin, 10 Grey and nine Ringed Plover, seven Bar-tailed Godwit and single Knot, Sanderling and Turnstone

Elsewhere the rain dropped in a Yellow Wagtail to the 7th fairway, a scarce grounded migrant on site and the few Swallow at the Main Pond got agitated when a Hobby headed west around 8am.
