A very lazy day today, a long lay in but up just in time to watch the rugby, followed by a full English.
Fortunately AJG was up and about sea watching from the hide this morning.

Gadwall: 1W
Common Scoter: 5W
Gannet: 55W
Kittiwake: 24W
Mediterranean Gull: 14W
Sandwich tern: 6W
Razorbill: 4W

Late morning at Scotney where 1,000+ Golden Plover were again on the sward but very flighty, so difficult to scrutinise properly, among them were 2 Curlew, 2 Redshank, 2 Ruff and c200 Lapwing, the usual feral geese were also present.
 Ruff in front of Firth late afternoon
A late afternoon visit to Burrowes saw the Red-throated Diver and Long-tailed Duck but both distant, a Ruff and and 2 Greenshank were other highlights. Very Gulls came in to roost on Burrowes this evening, the only notable bird was a 2w Yellow-legged Gull.
