that is usually under water .
inaccessible place.
A wish PC and the Flamborough birders would stop sending their fog over here with 5 mornings foggy and another to come tomorrow due to the east wind which we want in autumn but not now.
Luckily it kept burning off in patches throughout the morning and then by late afternoon it was back to hot sun and little cloud. Unfortunately the thunderstorms and rain never developed.
After a weeks absence 3 Dunlin turned up today on the shoreline but difficult to get a good vantage point without sinking in the mud.
The Ringed Plover count has risen overnight with 5 present plus the 2 chicks that are doing well on day 17, and can be difficult to tell from adults at a distance in the heat shimmer. The adults are amazing with them herding them away with the first sign of trouble, usually from crows or gulls , and getting them safe in a small cave under some stonework.
Canada geese are still appearing with a count of 279 today plus around 30 goslings and the usual 2 Barnacles. Very few gulls today but 5 Black Headed was interesting.
