A Purple Sandpiper was noted again on the point.
The strengthened easterly winds, high pressure and cloudless skies made for a difficult morning's birding, and it seemed that very little was new in on the reserve. The only migrants on the move were singles of Grey Wagtail and Sand Martin, with 8 Swallow as well. Seawatching was more fruitful with 44 Brent Goose, 13 Cormorant, 6 Shelduck, 4 Avocet, 4 Wigeon, 4 Great Black-backed Gull, 3 Arctic Skua, 3 Teal, 1 Sandwich Tern and 1 Common Gull south, and 10 Sandwich Tern, 5 Gannet, 2 Cormorant and 1 Fulmar north.
The first Lunar Underwing of the year was trapped this morning.
Ringing: 2 Dunnock, 1 Blackcap, 1 Woodpigeon.
