24th September 2024

 Weather: WNW force 4    cloudy some rain and drizzle

 
 

A predictably quiet couple of hours between more rain this morning. The only surprise was that a Goldcrest had arrived in the obs garden, although over the years we have noticed that they do not necessarily rely on some south or east in the wind to make it here as warblers almost invariably do. Eight Swallows are still about the island. Little Egrets are at their peak around the island at this time, there were 15 today. Grey Herons are more steady, just 2 this morning. The Kestrel showed as did the 6 Eiders and 14 Shelduck. The Brents were nice building up to 98 in the gutter as the tide flooded.
