A cool WNW wind meant the morning sea watch would be poor, the Gannets and Terns were mainly just feeding, with c5 Arctic Skuas harassing the Terns and a handful of Kittiwakes, a few Common Scoter moved back into the bay.
White Winged Tern was still present today Burrowes with 11+ Black Terns and precious little else. An Osprey was seen there then again over the Long Pits. The bushes were very quiet.

Black Tern

The Pectoral Sandpiper reappeared on the ARC late morning among the loafing Shoveler.

Glossy Ibis still present around the ARC
Another Sparrowhawk took a Starling in the field opposite my house while I was having lunch.
