Sea watching continues to dominate my time with steady passage of wildfowl, Red-throated Divers, Sandwich Terns, Little Gulls, Kittiwakes etc. Probably the biggest surprise was when a Red-legged Partridge turned up un the power station bund this morning. This morning the sea was quiet, as an arrival of Redwings occurred early morning, I took a wander in the rain around The Long Pits where 100s of Redwings were in the bushes singing and chattering, a wonderful sound and worth the soaking. All of the weekend there have been double figure numbers of Black Redstarts around the peninsular especially around The Point.

The first Little Ringed Plover, Sedge Warbler and Swallows were recorded over the weekend, hopefully more to come this week.
Superb chattering, singing Redwings today.
