A
stiff NW breeze greeted observers who followed the tide out for a brief visit.
Bird wise it was very quiet but 21 Manx Shearwaters were seen as the tide
receded. Wader numbers were low with just 350 Oystercatchers being recorded
& 3 Curlew. However, the1st returning Whimbrel off the autumn dropped in at
the north end. The resident male Common Scoter was also seen. Back-headed Gull
numbers continue to increase along with an increase in Lesser-black backed
Gulls. 124 & 63 were record respectively.
The
pyramidal orchid was still flowering and Rock-sea lavender & Rock-sea
Spurrey are also now in flower.
