Sightings included - Song Thrush, Willow Warbler x2, Grasshopper Warbler, Redpoll, Stonechat x2, Goldfinch x4 & Whitethroat. Then even more impressively, 2 Spotted Flycatcher & a juv Pied Flycatcher. Rest of the headland had Stonechat x4, Wheatear, Linnet x24, Hooded Crow, Kestrel & Peregrine. At sea, Manxie x77, Gannet x53, Fulmar x26, Razorbill x1, Guilemot x11, Shag x23 & Black Guilemot x3.
