Now that most the birds are in breeding mode it is very quiet on the avian front round The Point. At The Patch 16 Sandwich Terns, 14 Common Terns on the beach and 2 adult Mediterranean Gulls flew through. Plodding further on 2 pairs of Wheatears, 18 Linnets, a family of Pied Wagtails and a Peregrine on the switching station.
An hour at the fishing boats found a few Sandwich and Common Terns tooing and froing along with a few Gannets, a Kittiwake flew west as did 2 distant Auks and 4 Common Scoter.
At the south end of the ARC the water level is slowly dropping a pair of Lapwings look as though they are trying to nest there, also there 2 Ringed Plovers, 1 Little Ringed Plover, a Dunlin and 2 Hobby's.
At the ARC car park several Tree Sparrows grabbing Damselflys, 2 Marsh Harriers over the Water Tower and a Hobby.
An hour spent at Galloways this afternoon with MH saw a Marsh Harrier and a few Mippits but no sign of the Quail heard earlier by SC.
