LANDGUARD - 25th June

 Overcast with a light WNW breeze, some rain at dawn and a few spells of subsequent drizzle through the morning; all of the morning’s action was offshore, dominated by a steady trickle of 95 Curlews heading south along with a decent array of random bits and bobs, much of which gave a distinct autumnal feel to proceedings which included 12 Common Scoter, 5 Common Terns, a Gannet, a Great-crested Grebe, 2 Avocets, a Kittiwake, a Mallard, 4 Mediterranean Gulls, 11 Sandwich Terns, 6 Teal, 3 Tufted Ducks and 2 Whimbrel.   

The only other birds of note comprised 2 Black Redstarts, a Grey Wagtail, 3 Sand Martins and 5 Swifts.
