The wind was SE 2 on the walk over with visibility of 5 mls,
upon arrival on the island the wind switched to the west, the rain started and
visibility dropped to 1 mile.
It was a strange dawn below the low raincloud and the
glow reflected on the rocks below the observatory.
Starlings were moving despite the weather and over 600
(in 1 hour) were seen to come out of the estuary in small groups and
travel north down the islands.
The only other birds noted were 8 Eider and a Purple
Sandpiper on the north end and 3 Song Thrush, a Blackbird and Chaffinch in the
gardens.
