An early morning scene out on the reserve.
Despite the predicted wet weather conditions which duly arrived at about 08.30, there were still a few things to see around the reserve. 2 new Firecrests and a few new Chiffchaffs arrived overnight and there were 2 Sanderling, 1 Turnstone and 4 Ringed Plover on the beach early morning. Offshore 2 Fulmar and a Grey Plover went south whilst 2 Red-throated Diver and a Gannet went north. Overhead a few Redwing and 1 or 2 Grey Wagtails are still going over on an almost daily basis.
6 birds were ringed today, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Firecrest, 1 Blackbird, 1 Dunnock and 1 Greenfinch.
