Arctic Skua: 1W
Great Skua: 1W

In the reeds and bushes, 4+ Water Rail, 3+Cetti's Warblers and 4 Chiffchaffs.
The best 2 birds of the day a Penduline Tit and a Red-necked Grebe. Even though the Penduline was showing for an hour and despite being only minutes away I and all the other locals missed it due to slow dissemination of information.

Martin good to catch up today. On closer inspection the Red necked turned out to be a false call by me and others.Looking at the shot it looks more like Little Grebe !
