A thoroughly miserable day on the peninsular with heavy rain and gale force winds making birding impossible. After my sea watch I did have a couple of looks at Burrowes from Dennis's hide, where all one could see was 1,000s of Cormorants. At least I got some domestic stuff done.
The undoubted highlight of the sea watch was my first ever Coot on a sea watch, spotted by Owen as drifted eastwards with the tide very close in shore.
