Weather: ESE with light airs vis 8 mls with a light mist
around the estuary.
A short visit after the early morning tide found the islands
as quiet as expected with 2 House Martin briefly joining the breeding swallows
over the island, a Collared Dove landed on the S.K trap...
and 2 Jackdaw inspected
every chimney pot on the island.
Two Goldfinch were present and it is suspected
by some that they may be a breeding pair, time will tell… or not.
Six Little Egret were at the south end of the reef, (a
better count than of late) and 2 Grey Heron were present. Two Shelduck were in the
gutter but waders have almost disappeared with a small flock of 45 Dunlin and a
few Oystercatcher about.
Terns numbered 2 Little, 40 Sandwich and 10 Common. The 2
Eider are still about along with 22 Gannet, 7 Great Crested Grebe and 2
Guillemot on the sea.
