Weather: ENE force 1

A Redwing called over Middle as dawn broke and a Reed Bunting showed there later. A visit to the north end found a single Eider on the whaleback while an immature Gannet glided west close by and about 1,500 Knot wheeled off the north shore tide and immediately became the target of a marauding Peregrine. A tight group of 9 Scoters were not too far out. At high tide 400 Sanderling were logged and 4 Red-Throated Divers were on the sea. About the paddocks were 3 Song Thrushes, 2 Pied Wagtails and a Blackbird, also a dozen Meadow Pipits.
