Weather: W/SW-4, Showers and cool.

The westerly air stream continues which produced a couple of Gannets, 4 Common Scoter and a Juvenile Kittiwake from Hoylake shore.

Good numbers of waders continue to build including some photogenic summer plumage Turnstone on the sea defence by the Lighthouse car park.

Despite the brisk westerly wind some migrants did push through eventually grounded by some very heavy mid morning downpours. Up to 30 Pied Wagtails were in the flooded horse paddocks where there were also 2 1st winter Whinchats and a Wheatear.
