Wheatears on the reserve

 Early morning around the reserve still plenty of Common Whitethroats, Sedge Warblers, Reed Warblers and a few Willow Warblers, 5 Wheatears, 1,000+ Sand Martins moved through, 3 Ruff, 12 Black-tailed Godwits, 3+ Common Snipe, 4+ Common Sandpipers and 4 Great White Egrets of note as well as all the usual wildfowl.

An hour sky watching from home saw 4 Marsh Harriers, 4 Common Buzzards, a Sparrowhawk, a Kestrel, a Little Egret, 3 Grey Herons, 100s of Sand Martins moving through and  4 Yellow Wagtails of note.

This afternoons sea watch from the fishing boats was not particularly inspiring, 4-5 Arctic Skuas chasing Terns off shore, a few Gannets and 100s more Sand Martins on the beach and moving south.
