LANDGUARD - 21st August

 Super-flat calm and overcast through the day with the feather-light breeze swinging round into the SE by late-morning – too late for today but it does provide a touch of anticipation for next week!   There was a varied bit of offshore, southerly passage in the morning which comprised 4 Shoveler, 103 Teal, 16 Oystercatchers, 6 Grey Plover, 6 Whimbrel, 2 Curlew, 29 Ringed Plover, 2 Bar-tailed Godwits, 2 Dunlin, 3 Herons, 4 Shelduck, a Common Scoter and a Fulmar.   

Also of note were 3 Yellow Wagtails, a Grey Wagtail, 14 Swallows and 4 Willow Warblers.   

The day’s highlight came in the evening when there was a juvenile Black Tern feeding off the jetty with a juvenile Little Tern and a handful of Common and Sandwich Terns.
