Disruptive weather

Thunder, heavy to light rain, 19°, breezy SSE.

A day disrupted by the weather with a lot of rain, murky conditions, poor visibility and a strong breeze.

Very little noted on the land so a sea-watch was on the cards from inside the obs.

One of the first was a single Cory’s Shearwater followed over the course of the day on and off by c30 Balearic Shearwater, 3 Common Scoter, 1 Teal and a Sandwich Tern.

Not a lot for several hours watching.

Overhead: singles of Lapwing and Grey Heron and 2 Swallow.

Land: 8 Chiffchaff, 1 Blackcap, 2 Common Whitethroat and 2 Wheatear.

Fish: Bluefin Tuna.

Dragonflies: Common Darter.

Butterflies: Small White, Red Admiral, Speckled Wood, Meadow Brown and Small Heath.
