A very dark, full cloud and damp morning with a moderate WSW>5 increasing 6 at 9 degrees.
A quiet start to the morning but got livelier by mid watch when a Ringed Plover arrived onto the south shore and shortly followed by 4 noisy Oystercatchers making 8 Oystercatchers plus 4 chicks present. Just 3 Common Sandpiper and 3 Redshank along with Curlews and Lapwings.
The 2 Pair of breeding Pied Wagtails have around 8 juvs between them which are now feeding themselves whilst one of the pair seems to be going for a second brood with a lot of displaying going on.
A few LBB gulls over the water but otherwise, empty skies, other than Swallows and Swifts.
Next expected visitor to the water has to be Common Scoter.
A cloudy sunshine morning tomorrow at 12 degrees and yet again, a strong WSW wind.
