Weather: SW/3-7; squally showers sunny later.
With an end to a prolonged period of easterlies, strong westerlies were now predominant. A brief early morning seawatch saw 120 Gannet moved west along with several Manx Shearwater and Sandwich Tern . 750 Dunlin fed just off Hoylake prom whilst a Peregrine patrolled the fore shore.
With such strong westerlies there was little hope of passerine migration however the Lighthouse paddocks were surprisingly busy. 5 White Wagtail, 6 Wheatear , 3 Whinchat fed up on flies around the several dung heaps. Further east at the Leasowe Hotel there were a further 6 Wheatear,2 Whinchat and 6 Whimbrel as well as a small passage of Swift late afternoon.
