Weather: E force 2/3, SE 3 by noon
The day started well with just a light mist around the estuary
But that soon changed and suddenly only Hilbre existed.
A Canada Goose flew out of the mist and landed with some of the 360 Brents recorded today, showing the size difference between it and these lovely little sea geese.
Thirteen Purple Sandpiper roosted together on the west side.
One of the 70 Turnstone counted decided to feed on top of the island alone over tide, a gamble which didn't pay off as it was found freshly predated later.
Mid afternoon a male Stonechat popped up onto the obs fence but didn't stay to be photographed. Two Grey Heron flew west early morning and a third roosted on Middle. The Kestrel and a Peregrine were around, the 3 Eiders and 8 Common Scoter were noted.
