Way too windy to be productive this morning with most birds anchored down out of the near gale force
SSW>6 gusting gale force 8 which was'nt forecast. A mix of cloudy sunshine with some early light drizzle showers at 15 degrees.
Another morning marred by the strong wind with even the geese sticking in the long grass at the north end. The 2 pair of Oystercatchers were present, both with their pair of chicks but keeping well apart and plenty hostility between them. The chicks are spreading out now looking more independent but still being guarded by the adults.
Just a single Redshank and Common Sandpiper showing briefly along with the juv Pied Wagtails, all actively feeding along the waters edge. Curlew and Lapwing are still in the fields.
The only thing skyward was around 50 LBB gulls heading >SW along with a single Common gull.
Cloud and showers for tomorrow starting at 14 degrees and still the strong sou'wester with the risk of a thunderstorm. Looks like its a morning for Gull and Tern watching.
