Weather: SE 2 vis 10 mls
The Eider was on the Whaleback along with some of the 210
Brent Geese counted today. It was possible to see that the Eider’s wing was so
badly damaged it would be unable to fly.
Ten Shelduck were north of the Eye as the tide ebbed, the
sea was quiet other than a few scattered
flocks of Common Scoter and a handful of Great Crested Grebe.
Curlew were counted at 223 with 870 Dunlin, 68 Grey Plover
and 3 Purple Sandpiper. The Oystercatcher roost on Middle numbered 4,500.
There are still a couple each of Dunnock, Song Thrush and
Robin resident on the island along with a half dozen or so Wren.
