Weather: SE force 4/5 veering SW 6/7 by early afternoon
A gusty day was to get worse later in the evening but even at the high tide sea watching was only possible from the obs itself. There was not much about until 23 Sandwich Terns (newly arrived ?) flew into the estuary over the swash. Also off the west side was a close in Red-throated Diver and 4 Guillemots. Also at high tide a male and 2 female Eider appeared east of middle, getting out onto the rocks to preen. They were joined by a second male later. Niine Purple Sandpipers were in Niffy bay with 45 Redshank and 75 Turnstone, while 2 Shelduck were out on the west side rocks. There were 46 Common Scoter and 4 Little Egrets. There were no obvious small migrants.
