7th May 2026

 Weather: ESE force 4,      In the afternoon SSE 3/4

It was very cold this morning but it warmed up as the tide came in. Another quiet day bird wise, the best being a Greenland Wheatear round and about Buzzard hill near the north end. Both races of alba Wagtails were here, one of each, and a House Martin and 2 Sand Martins accompanied the 4 resident Swallows. Sandwich Terns numbered 120 and Herring Gulls 350, while 3 Whimbrel, 6 Common Scoter, 3 little Egret and 2 Grey Herons were recorded. A Painted Lady was here again. The only ringing was a female Meadow Pipit with a lovely brood patch.
