Another blustery day with heavy rain overnight, still a few new birds in this morning though. A Goldcrest was perhaps the most unexpected amongst a couple of Blackcaps, Hobby, Merlin, 6 Wheatear and half a dozen Willow Warblers. The odd Swallow and Meadow Pipit passed through along with 6 Yellow wagtails and a Grey Wagtail. Offshore - 2 Little Tern, 4 Sandwich and 13 Common, 3 Med Gulls, a Common Gull, 5 Wigeon, 19 Common Scoter and 5 Gannet. Late news from yesterday of a Purple Sandpiper on the groynes near the butts.
