A very distant Black-throated Diver photo bombing a sail training ship this morning
A few migrant passerines turned up on the peninsula as promised by the SE wind, but they were very few. The Common Redstart was again by the Polish Memorial, while on the reserve The Great Northern Diver was still present, a showy Firecrest in the car park but little else of note.
