A day of firsts

Weather: NW- 2/3 cool and overcast

Despite the cool wind and Northerly winds there were up to 18 Wheatear in the paddocks although many had moved through, leaving only 4 by late afternoon.

Several White wagtails were also in and around the paddocks and over 100 were recorded on Hoylake shore this morning.  Our first Yellow Wagtail of the summer was also recorded late afternoon but this to moved through quickly.

The first Whimbrel of the year dropped in briefly, also late afternoon but this too flew off; calling after a short refueling stop.

Offshore 70+ Sandwich Terns were recorded from the Car Park as were a Little Gull and our first Arctic Skua of the year flew north this morning.
