A bright but cold start produced the first Merlin of the year early in the day. Other land birds were 4 Blackbirds, one of which was a female and was ringed this morning, also the flock of 7 Linnets that is still roaming the island.
The Velvet Scoter stays off the north end, but there were only 2 Red-throated Divers, 4 Red-breasted Mergansers and 11 Great Crested 
Grebes on the sea. High tide counts included 120 Turnstones and 13 Purple Sandpipers which seem to have developed a fascination with the tide gauge lately (above).
