The change of wind direction made a change to the recent fog and cold winds with a light WNW>2 increasing 3 at 5 degrees. Full cloudless skies and sunshine making me leave mine and the dogs coats in the car.
The wind is more or less in the right direction now, and the time of year is right for Little gull but that's probably being over optimistic. A group of 17 LBBs were on the water and just a single Herring gull 1cy which will soon be a 2cy.
The Pink Footed goose was in with the Canadas and Greylags but no sign of the other two previously seen. Still waiting for a new wader with plenty exposed shore, but as of now, just 4 Redshank and Oystercatchers down to 5, whilst its looking like a poor year for Curlew and Lapwing with numbers well below average for this site.
The only small passerines were Meadow Pipit, Pied Wagtail and a single Sand Martin motoring through >E in migration mode. Otherwise, down to the usual species.
Same forecast for tomorrow as today.
