After some overnight rain it was a breezy morning bringing waves of clouds scudding across the sky, changing the light conditions over the sea every five minutes but despite this sometimes-challenging seawatching, that’s where most of the day’s interest lay. Totals heading south today comprised 18 Bar-tailed Godwits, 66 Common Terns, 21 Curlew, 3 Dunlin, a Gadwall, 9 Golden Plover, a Greenshank, 24 Grey Plover, 4 Knot, 7 Oystercatchers, a Redshank, 4 Ringed Plover, a good 60 Teal, 10 Tufted Ducks and 7 Whimbrel.
The odds and ends over the land included a Hobby south in the afternoon, a House Martin, 109 Swifts, a Willow Warbler and yesterday’s Wheatear still.
