This juvenile Little Egret dropped onto the beach in front the sea watch hide this morning, it rested for a few minutes then flew off West.
Sea watching today saw a definite improvement, much better numbers of Gannets and Terns and also an Arctic Skua.
 
These 2  Whimbrel visited the ARC this morning
At the ARC this week Wood, Green and Common Sandpipers, Little Ringed and Ringed Plovers, 2 Glossy Ibis and up to 3 Garganey have all been present daily, along with the usual wildfowl. My first 2 Willow Warblers of the autumn were present at the ARC this morning.
