Strong winds prevailed this morning and the limited nets produced no new birds unfortunately. Migrant passerines were thin on the ground with only 2 Wheatear and a Single Chiffchaff of note. Out on the sea things were a bit more interesting with the morning producing 2 Great Skua, 2 Pomerine Skua and an Arctic Skua. Also seen were Gannet (4 North, 5 South), Red-throated Diver (1 North, 1 South), Fulmar (1 North, 1 South), 2 Red-breasted Merganser South, and the surprise of the morning being a lone Manx Shearwater also heading South.
