Weather: NE force 4
Apart from the dramatic skies a mid-morning visit found little to write home about, It was a colder day than the temperature showed and the results were like a winters day birding. A single Skylark was the only 'migrant' recorded. One highlight was a count of 338 Brent which included many juveniles.
......... and there were 65 Common Scoter seen along with 2 Guillemots. Both Kestrel and a young Peregrine made the list.
Waders noted were 270 Curlew (225 south of Little Eye), 65 Turnstone, 95 Redshank and 125 Ringed Plover seen on the way off the island.
Regulars on the island were 6 Rock Pipits, 2 Meadow Pipits, 2 Blackbirds, a Linnet and a Robin.
