Tedium was relieved by an immature (probably first-winter) Glaucous Gull heading north at the same time as a Great-northern Diver went south. Why on earth happen at the same time when the only other rewards in over an hour starring out to sea were 3 Red-throated Diver, 3 Wigeon & a very small number of seagulls ? At least 815 Cormorants went out fishing in the half light, a Purp reappeared on the point for the first time in three weeks & Mrs Stonechat is hanging on in there. 5 Mipits on the reserve is the only other thing worth a mention. At least the days are starting to get longer - not that one can notice it yet !
