Lyrid meteor shower, first recorded 2,500 years ago, with it being cited in an ancient Chinese text, viewed over Landguard very early this morning! The meteor shower peaks tonight with 10 - 15 meteors an hour and and even possibly up to 100. Somewhat fitting for national Earth day.
Sunny & windy east-north-easterly gave hope for some offshore action but with only 16 Barwits, 9 Common Gull & 9 Gannet heading northwards in over two hours then hopes were soon dashed. Onshore equally hard work with 7 Wheatear, 3 Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Sand Martin, Swallow & Willow Warbler plus a couple each of Lesser' throat & Whitethroat that, maybe, are already holding territory. Black Red still here with a predated Red-leg suggesting that the sites population here might have gone down from 2 to 1 (unless Foxy Loxy found one on the tideline).
Ringing: 1 Chiffchaff.
