06.00-08.00 from the sea watch hide, thanks to AJG for collating the numbers:
Fulmar: 4W
Gannet: 194W      8E 
Oystercatcher: 3W
Kittiwake: 23W
Sandwich Tern: 67W
Common Tern: 1W
Wheatear: 3 around sea wall
Hornet Hoverfly in the trapping area

A long wander around the Trapping Area and Long Pits looking for migrants was very disappointing, just a few Willow Warblers were seen, along with a few Common Whitethroats and Lesser whitethroats that were probably summer residents, 120+ Sand Martins flew NW with 10 House Martins and 2 Swallows.
Early afternoon on the ARC a moulting adult Black-necked Grebe and 2 Black-tailed Godwits of any note. 
This afternoons sea watch from the fishing boats was also very poor.
14.15-15.00
Gannet: 10W
Cormorant: 4W
Oystercatcher: 4W
Sandwich tern: 15W
Arctic Skua: 1W
Grey Seal : 1
