Try again Tomorrow!

With a light south easterly blowing after early morning rain, I was hoping the sea would produce the goods, once again it was not to be. In 3hrs  just 2 Bonxies, 2 Arctic Skuas, 300+ Brent Geese,  and c50 Gannets, c80 Sandwich Terns. Overhead c800 Swallows,  c100 Meadow Pipits and the first 4 Fieldfare of the Autumn. At the fish dump another colour ringed Great Black Backed Gull, still no Caspians!

On Burrowes up to 6 Great White Egrets, 4 Black-necked Grebes, 8 Little Egrets, 13 Egyptian Geese, 2 Little Stints, 2 Ruff and a Dunlin among the common wildfowl.
