Todays sea watches were virtually a repeat of yesterday and I dare say tomorrow will be the same, but you've got to keep trying if you want to see the odd gem or two.

A very distant Whooper Swan at the back of Scotney Farm late morning
A brisk walk late morning to the back of Scotney saw 1,000s each of Lapwing and Golden Plover and 100s of Wigeon, a Whooper Swan was the best find, a very distant bird in with some Mute Swans.
There was no news of anything else around the peninsula, we seem to be in the winter doldrums.
