Very little coverage of the bushes around the point this morning, but a few Willow Warblers were trapped and processed early before the wind picked up. At Galloways the Wryneck was still present though very elusive and at least 3 Whinchats there per L & PH.
The ARC still had 3 Wood Sandpipers and up to 9 Garganey per BW. 
An hour at the the fishing boats mid morning produced 5 Black Terns, 2 Little Terns, 4+ Arctic Skuas and a Grey Plover of note.
