23rd June 2018

Winds were light throughout and switched from a north-westerly direction to a north-easterly, whilst there were extensive sunny intervals throughout. During the seawatch, 115 Common Scoter, a Red-throated Diver, 247 Fulmar, 162 Manx Shearwaters, two Curlew, 12 Sandwich Terns, four Common Terns and a Bonxie flew north, with another of the latter and an Arctic Skua heading south. 

Stainforth’s Flash attracted two Lapwing, a Dunlin and two Ringed Plover. A pair of Coot accompanied four young at North Marsh, where a White Wagtail was also present.
