Another disappointing day overall with little seen on land and sea.
A Black Redstart in the Obs garden early morning was an unexpected bird, then 2 Spotted Flycatcher, 3 Willow Warbler a Chiffchaff and a Common Redstart.
Overhead were 2 Yellow Wagtail, 1 Yellowhammer, 1 Redpoll, 1 Siskin and a Sparrowhawk.
Swallow passage throughout the day was steady but minimal.
A brief sea watch on both the morning and evening produced: 3 Whimbrel, 1 Great Crested Grebe, 1 Arctic Skua and 2 Bonxie as well as Gannets and Manx Shearwaters.
Ian Lewington carried on sea watching until quite late in the day and managed 2 Pomarine Skua to add while I was having dinner.
Dragonflies: Broad-bodied Chaser.
Butterflies: Green-veined White, Large White, Peacock, Painted Lady, Red Admiral, Speckled Wood.
