 Meadow Pipit at The Point this morning
A wander down to The Patch this morning was a waste of time due to the number of fishermen there, then a walk around The Point saw the resident Meadow Pipits and Sonechats as well as a Peregrine and several Swifts going South.
 1 of 20 Tree Sparrows around Scotney today
A very pleasant walk out to the wind turbines saw the usual Corn Buntings, Yellow Wagtails, Linnets and Common Buzzards, also at least 20 Tree Sparrows and 2 Ravens. 4+ pairs of Avocets are attempting to nest on the islands, but they are surrounded by Herring and Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
