Needless to say, the sky was void of birds other than several Goldfinch and Linnets moving around the thistle tops whilst a Buzzard and Kestrel were over the Nab.
A nice turn up of 8 juv Lapwings fully fledged whilst a juv fledged Common Sandpiper was moving around the shore. Yesterdays pair of Common Sandpiper were present and still warning off anything near them, so obviously still protecting the 3 chicks. Lucking they have moved their position to what looks like a much safer area with the chicks remaining hidden in a rocky banking. Yesterday they were by the lagoon and well exposed in an area where I get regular sightings of Weasel.
A single Stonechat was by the entrance track whilst 4 juv Wheatear were over on the Robin Rocks.
Other than the geese the water held 4 LBB and 1 Black Headed gull as well as 1m and 2f Tufted duck.
A very grim forecast for tomorrow with full sun starting off at 19 degrees and getting up to 28 mid p.m. on a very light easterly breeze, Yuk !!!!
