Weather: E force 3 later WNW 3
A Yellow Wagtail landed on the old lifeboat station but was soon seen off by the resident White Wagtail. A Willow Warbler was singing on the island again and the pair of Goldfinches are still here. Meadow Pipits are now on nests or have just fledged a brood, so a bath in the pond is welcome.
Four Shelduck were around the islands,
But there were no Eider to be seen until late afternoon when 3 males and two females turned up and were busy displaying.
Five Whimbrel were recorded, also 27 Ringed Plover. Single figures of Turnstone are all that have been recorded recently but today 22 roosted the tide at the North End, moving on when the tide ebbed.
A Cinnabar moth and a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly brightened up the scene.
