Yesterdays forecast of a very light WNW>2 fell short with a moderate WNW>4 and full cloud after sun for the first 15 minutes before dark clouds took over but remained dry at 14 degrees.
A real struggle this morning with a walk along the west bank and then along the east bank to the peninsular, and after a full scope 360 degrees around the shore, not a single wader to be found.
This is understandable with 4 Kestrel and a Buzzard on the north shore, which only the 3 LBB and 2 Black Headed gulls did'nt seem to bother about.
Back at the boatyard, 6 very flighty Wheatears were on the SE shore with 2 adults in autumn plumage whilst the rest were juvs. Another 4 adults were around the Withins Head farm as I was scanning for a Black Redstart which should be due anytime now.
Otherwise, just a Raven and a second Buzzard up over the moor along with the usual small stuff around the compound and lagoon areas.
Not looking bad for morning with a light westerly with cloudy sunshine at 14 degrees. A chance of rain after midday.
