Weather: W force 8
Storm Flores blew up a gale this morning but the expectation of many good seabirds was not justified. A single Manx Shearwater and a single Gannet were noted but there was little else apart from 4 Scoter and 200 Sandwich Terns.
For the observer at Hilbre however 4 Little Terns put on a show feeding in the gutter for an hour after the tide.
A good number of gulls including 600 Herring gulls were on the Razorshell wreck on the East Hoyle. The few passerines about including the Woodpigeon, one or 2 Pipits and 2 Goldfinches kept low in the wind. A single Bar-tailed Godwit and 2 Whimbrel were the pick of the waders. Two little Egrets were on the shore.
