During a very warm and sunny day, with just a light NE wind, the surveys of breeding Manx Shearwaters and large gulls continued, with good coverage achieved in both. Rich & Rebecca Taylor also continued their work on colour-ringed Wheatears.
There was no sign of the Rose-coloured Starlings seen on 3rd (although there was no particularly thorough searching for them).
A Hobby drifted north over Millcombe early in the morning, whilst a Mistle Thrush at Halfway Wall in the afternoon was probably more unusual in Lundy terms – particularly at this time of year. Also surprising was a singing Chiffchaff in Gannets' Combe! A handful of Swallows, House Martins and Swifts continued to trickle north.
