Manorbier area

Small numbers of Wheatears this morning and a light passage eastward of Swallows and House Martins, with singles of Sand Martin and Swift. Offshore 5 Whimbrel flew east and a Sandwich Tern was lingering off Manorbier beach.

A look around this evening produced a Garden Warbler singing at Skrinkle, plus a few more Wheatears. 

A passing Arctic Tern was the highlight of a quick look at the sea late in the evening. Seemed to be a fair bit moving so wish I could have given it longer!
