3rd June


Bright and sunny but with a blazing force 8 westerly which meant not a lot could be done through the day but birds on the sea first thing included an excellent passage of 260+ Sanderlings heading north, 3 Bonxies, an Arctic Skua, 3 Goosanders south, 200 Gannets and smaller numbers of Red-throated Divers, Auks, Kittiwakes and Terns.   There were 2 Red-backed Shrikes, 2 Cuckoos and 2 Spotted Flycatchers along the sheltered sides of the plantations but that was about it!
 
Spotted Flycatcher

Bit rough for ducklings!
