As regards 'proper' summer migrants 2 Swallows, 2 Sand Martin 20 Wheatears, 4 White Wagtails, 9 Chiffchaffs and a Willow Warbler were logged, together with the site's first Ring Ouzel of the spring. This bird, a male, was seen on and off from 08.00 until 12.20 in the paddocks area.
Offshore 2 Great Northern Divers were present while a Sandwich Tern was seen on the beach.
