1840 - 2130hr

Open sky overnight with light westerly wind, becoming broken at c0700hr. Showers during early morning but sky scattered throughout the day but wind increasing and remaining strong. Little in the sky except for the gulls and most interestingly over the last few late evenings a lesser roost has formed, c 600 strong tonight suggesting a passage related influx.
