This evening's Moon looking as stunning as ever.
Overnight heavy rain & gale force winds peaked at 40.6 knots at 0500 hrs cleared and subsided not long after dawn. Half an hour starring out produced northbound 2 Red-throated Diver & drake Eider with southbound 7 Shoveler, 3 Wigeon & 2 Kitts plus the usual mass of Cormorants out on the feeding grounds. 5 Ringed Plover & 3 Sanderling on the beach departed at the sight of the first lycra brightly coloured joggers of the day.
