It's a Cattle Egret - honest !
Only the second site record of Cattle Egret flew north at 0732 hrs. Late morning an unseasonal first-summer plumage Iceland Gull joining the melee of gulls off the point on the falling tide was also unexpected. Supporting cast today of 3 Chiffchaff, 3 Reed Warbler, 2 Black Reds, 2 Spot Flys, 2 Wheatear & Garden Warbler. On the move northbound 17 Swallow, 13 Barnacle Geese, 6 Swift & Sand Martin with southbound 4 Swallow, Fulmar & Kittiwake. Finally 3 Sanderling were on the beach, Turnstone on the point plus a small handful of Common & Little Tern offshore.
Light Brocade turns up most years in very small numbers.
Ringing: 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Linnet, 2 Reed Warbler.
