Red-throated Diver past the fishing boats
A very slow and short sea watch this morning, a single Red-throated Diver down channel and c150 Gannets feeding off shore were the highlights.

No sign of the Dotterel at the ARC this morning, though there were not many Golden Plovers there. A pair of Bearded Tits one of which was colour ringed showed well in front of Hanson hide, as did a Kingfisher briefly though in appalling light and a Great White Egret. On the islands 2 Grey Plovers, 4 Dunlin & 6 Common Snipe, while around the lake a Bittern gave a couple of brief flight views, several Marsh Harriers, more Egrets, a Black-necked Grebe and the usual wildfowl.
