A pleasant sunny day revealed a seal (left) hauled out on the rocks southwest of the main island, an occassional habit among the Grey Seals. The regular Merlin (below) was over middle and was eventually photographed again on 'Wheatear hill' [has it brought its own lunchbox!??] 
Two of the important wintering species had increased their numbers by one, the Pale-bellied Brent to 46, and the Purple Sandpiper to 2.
An excellent find was an adult winter Yellow-legged Gull which was identified on the shore.
A hundred Starlings and a Greylag Goose passed and 30 Sanderling were noted.
A Song Thrush was ringed (right).(DB,JE,NDW,PGW, SRW) Photos by JE
