There were a few more waders today with a party of 25
Sanderling flying west passed the North End, 22 Turnstone between the islands
in full summer plumage, 93 Dunlin and 85 Ringed Plover – some of which were in
Niffy bay as the tide dropped.
Six Little Egret and a Heron were around Middle and in the
Gutter, the Eider and 4 Mallard were noted, the 24 Shelduck recorded
included a group of 11 flying east and a pair that are still around the island.
Two House Martin flew over the sand between the Marine Lake
and Little Eye, a Greenland Wheatear and a Yellow Wagtail were the only
visitors to the island but a juvenile Dunnock was noted.
Terns have been sadly lacking over the last couple of days
and only a single Common Tern was logged.
