A dry start to the morning with full cloud on a light WSW>2-3 at 10 degrees. By 0915 hrs the wind had picked up to WSW>5 gusting 6 with heavy rain.
The feature of the morning were Swifts with uncountable swarms of them feeding low over the water along with a few Swallows.
A count this morning of 4 Little Ringed Plover, 5 Common Sandpiper and 3 Redshank, as well as 2 Oystercatchers but no new species arriving as yet.
The pair of Stonechat and 2 pair of Pied Wagtails are still carrying food whilst 4 LBB gu11s were on the peninsular. Otherwise, the ever present, usual species.
Looking grim for tomorrow with a mix of sunshine and heavy shower with hail and thunder throughout the day on a moderate to strong SW turning W at 11 degrees.
