A Firecrest was also heard calling amongst the undergrowth. 10 Brents were seen offshore along with 3 Red Throated Divers. Wheatear numbers were depleted on yesterdays count with only 3 out on the reserve. 3 Yellow-legged Gulls were on the dock area, including an adult bird. A Lone Yellowhammer dropped onto the fort area joining singles of Greenfinch and Goldfinch. Two more butterfly species were out today; Comma and Small Tortiseshell.
