22nd November 2023

Weather: SW force 3/4

A brief visit following the morning tide out found 11 Purple Sandpiper feeding at the edge of the gutter below the Obs garden, floating in the gutter were 7 Eider and a Shag, with a second bird just off the North End.

 A good number of Brent Geese grazed on the rocks east of the two main islands but seemed 'spooked' (probably the fox) and repeatedly took to the water, giving opportunity to get an estimate of 500 birds .

 

 

  The Dunnock is still present and calling around the island.
