Early
tide with a dawn start, the spectacular sunrise making it worth getting out of
bed.
The
sound of Terns filled the sky and 200 Sandwich Tern arose from the East Hoyle
as the tide pushed in. Several parties of Redshank dropped in from the North
and 74 Curlew and 2 Whimbrel roosted around the islands.
A
Whitethroat was a surprise -the start of autumn migration not to far away.
The
cliff nesting Swallows are close to fledging and 4 were counted being fed.
The
long staying Eider was still present and 8 Great Crested Grebe fed around the
main island.
Out
to sea several Gannet fed but not much else.
