A very quiet few days bird wise. Seabird passage has remained steady but with no surprises. An
Arctic Tern lurked in the mist this morning and up to four
Common Sandpiper remain around the coast. The
Curlew flock has increased to 36 and a
Whimbrel has joined them. An attempt to dazzle
Common Sandpiper only yielded two
Ringed Plover and a bonus 80 or so
Manx Shearwater.
Young Swallows also find barbed wire fences to their liking. Top (c) Richard Brown,
