Two Quails singing near Gravity and a Wood Sandpiper on Gretchen Loch were the most interesting new birds, and a good selection of other scarce species was seen. Notable long-stayers included an Icterine Warbler, the Rosefinch, the Scaup, the Turtle Dove the Wood Warbler and the Snow Goose type thing.
A Pied Flycatcher, 3 Common Whitethroats and a Collared Dove were probably new arrivals, while a Spotted Flycatcher, 2 Chiffchaffs, a Willow Warbler, and a Cuckoo remained from earlier days. A Barnacle Goose flew over the island, 16 Pink-footed Geese were seen and 8 Manx Shearwaters passed by the seawatching hide.
