23rd February 2023

 Weather: NNE force 4,  W3 late afternoon  

A lovely start to the day (which was dominated by sea duck and waders) were 13 Goosander in the mouth of the gutter on the incoming tide.

 Ten Eider flew in on the east side which included 3 adult males.

 
 There were 9 Scoter calling around the main island.

On the reef south of Middle 41 Ringed Plover were counted early morning, 14 Purple Sandpiper fed below the Obs and 132 Turnstone were on Calabar Reef at low water. About 7000 Dunlin flew in our recording area  looking for somewhere to roost on the islands on the big tide.

 

 

 

  Two Raven flew around Middle Eye but then headed over to Wales.
