Weather: SE force 3 with rain, backing NE 2 before mid-morning
Even on the wettest day for a long time a short visit was made to the island. Naturally no migrants were seen. Over a thousand Black-tailed Godwit flew distantly over the Caldy area but no such large numbers were about the island, although there was a single of the Bar-tailed variety, also 40 Redshank, 12 Curlew, 10 Turnstone, 2 Sanderling and 2 Ringed Plover. Some of the waders fed with the Little Egrets in the gutter.
A Brent also took advantage of the good feeding conditions.
On the sea sightings were just a single Gannet and Sandwich Tern and 150 Common Scoter out towards the wind farms.
