The last 2 mornings I have been hoping in vain that the rain would drop migrants onto the peninsula, maybe tomorrow which seems to be something I say to myself everyday. There has been a Wood Sandpiper at Firth along with a Greenshank, Little Ringed Plovers and a couple of Whimbrel, which are probably the same birds seen at the ARC.
Fed up Avocet chicks
The rain didn't bother the Garganey
The single Wigeon at the ARC was not bothered by the rain

Common Scoters passing the fishing boats this afternoon
At the fishing boats this afternoon 52 Common Scoter flew West, also my first Balearic Shearwater of the season with a few Common and Sandwich Tern, while a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull also put in an appearance. This morning Jacob also saw 2 Manx Shearwaters.
My first Gem of the year
My first and probably only Lunar Thorn of the year, not annual in my trap
