Arriving at the sea watch hide at 06.40 it was immediately apparent that that very little was moving, within a few minutes most people left the hide. Soon after I left with AJG and SO making our way to the observatory.
We took a stroll around the Long Pits seeing and hearing the same birds as yesterday.
As the breeze started to increase from a southerly vector we decided to go back to the sea watch hide
with excellent results.
