Weather: NNE force 4 drizzle
A cloudy and wet start to the morning. The only birds moving were Swallows (32 counted) with the resident birds noisily chasing the passing groups.
A Common Tern was present but 2 Little Terns took the eye despite the presence of as many as 160 Sandwich Terns.
Completing the sea birds were a single distant Red-throated Diver and 350 Common Scoter. The flocks whirled around as the tide pushed in.
A Chiffchaff was here this morning, also a Pied Wagtail and the male White Wagtail.
A look around the island would reveal 4 Eiders, 4 Little Egrets, a Grey Heron and 8 Shelduck.
Eight Whimbrel passing north stood out among the very small number of waders present as the tide rose, their whistling call was heard all around the islands.
