Weather: N force 3/4, drizzle at first, NNE 4 mid-afternoon.
After the deluge just a slight drizzle to start the day which soon brightened up. A very slow begining to October bird wise. A single Goldcrest again and a Grey Wagtail passing through were the migrants. The wildfowl impressed with 132 Brent, 450 Shelduck, 185 Common Scoter and 3 females of our regular Eiders. Five Swallows included the juvenile from an island nest which is doing well.
Other residents were 3 Blackbirds, 9 Linnets, 2 Robins and 4 Rock Pipits. A Peregrine flew around here again, there were 8 Little Egrets and 3 Grey Herons on the shore. Waders included 425 Curlew, 14 Ringed Plover, 58 Turnstone, 50 Dunlin, 2 Bar-tailed Godwit and 62 Redshank.
