It was the distinctive smell which led to the discovery of this Storm Petrel (c) Richard Brown
Six Little Egret remained around the narrows this morning. The very vocal Curlew flock has increased to 52. A Whimbrel, five Common Sandpiper, four Dunlin, five Redshank and five Turnstone all remain. A flock of 24 Common Scoter passed at sea. Up to 63 Black-headed Gull have joined the larger gulls feeding in Solfach. Eight Sand Martin were the first for a while and were accompanied by 13 House Martin and 28 Swift in a low feeding flock above the obs.
