Weather: WSW force 3, later W 1/2 with mist. At 1300 hrs a heavy mist suddenly swept in.
The light winds made it possible earlier to spot 32 Red-throated Divers and 4 Great Crested Grebes in the Swash west of the island along with a sighting of 2 Harbour Porpoise.
Roosting in Niffy Bay were 284 Turnstone, 86 Redshank and some of the 27 Purple Sandpiper that were recorded. A good count was had of 172 Grey Plover on the east hoyle after the tide. Seven of our Eiders were in evidence, also 380 Brent, the Kestrel and 50 Common Scoter. Both Weasel and Fox left signs of their presence.
