Weather: SSE 3 SSW 4 later
A visit over the morning tide found it very quiet and warm for the time of year. The Common Scoters featured with over 6,000 birds out towards the windfarm and also a few lingering near the island.
An estimate of 350 Turnstone roosting was a very large number indeed
Some were on the cliffs with the 12 Purple Sandpipers
Oystercatchers were estimated at 8,000 roosting.
There were 220 Redshank.
and 800 Knot, at least one that had been colour flagged.
Good sea watching produced 37 Red-throated Divers, 25 Great Crested Grebes and a single Gannet. Six Eiders hung about the islands. There were 8 Robins on the islands and surprisingly perhaps a Goldcrest was also here. As usual the Kestrel gave a great show.
