Effectively all the migrants from yesterday had cleared out, leaving very little on the island today. Out to sea, a single
Great Skua and
Common Tern flew past, whilst the only land migrants present on the island were 10
Willow Warblers and a
Goldcrest. There were good numbers of waders around Solfach at high tide, including a
Knot, four
Sanderlings, 53
Turnstones, three
Purple Sandpipers, nine
Redshanks and a
Whimbrel.
