Just for a change its blowing a gale - again ! An hours purgatory looking out to sea early on produced southbound 5 Brent, 3 Red-throated Diver, 2 Shelduck & 2 Wigeon with northbound 13 Brent. With the tide very low about 300 Cormorant could be seen in the far distance siting on the Cork Sands although they weren't seen going out. A sizable Grey Seal pup hauled itself out on the nearest sandbar offshore. Finally the 2 regular Purps are back on the point for the first time in several days.
