A Slow Day!

Sometimes Gull watching can be so frustrating!
07.30-08.15 from the sea watch hide with JTM:
Common Scoter: 13 up
Red-throated Diver: 4 up   21 down
Great-crested Grebe: 3 up  7 on
Fulmar: 1 up
Gannet: 53 up
Sandwich Tern: 9 up
Guillemot: 17 up . c20 on
At The Patch relatively few Gulls but there was  2 1w Caspian Gulls there, but no sign of the Little Gull or Glaucous Gull while I was there. A party of 50 Brent Geese flew east past the The Patch.
1w Caspian Gull
A second 1w Caspian Gull
1 of several Black Redstarts around today
It was generally very quiet around The point but there was a scattering of Firecrests and Black Redstarts and 2 over flying Egyptian Geese which I'm sure are the first I have seen at the Point.
An hour sky watching from home lunchtime produced just 1 distant Marsh Harrier.
This afternoon from the fishing boats a painfully slow hour sea watching produced just 2 Brent Geese up, 2 Red-throated divers up and 9 down and a few Gannets and Guillemots feeding off shore.
This afternoon an hour at the fishing boats
