Merlin south at 0847hrs during 40 mins spent sea watching. Bit late for Merlin passage but we have had odd Merlin records in mid-winter in the past. Only other birds noted were 12 Brent, 8 Shelduck & an adult Little Gull south. A walk round the site in a gale was precisely that - a walk ! Afternoon update - 5 Waxwings dropped in.
