Little tern at the fishing boats
Sea watching today was an improvement than of late, both Balearic and Manx Shearwaters but only 2 of each, 100s of Common Terns west with smaller numbers of Sandwich Terns and Gannets, also a small number of Little Terns and singles of Roseate and Black tern for 1 lucky observer. The 100s of Swifts were a definite highlight. 
At the ARC it was Groundhog Day Wood, Green and Common Sandpiper, Greenshank, Redshank, Dunlin, and a few Little Ringed Plovers, the 2 Glossy Ibis also still present.
Some of the 100s of Swifts going out to sea today
