The highlight of this mornings sea watch
This morning around The Point, trapping area and Long Pits barely a Willow Warbler or Common Whitethroat to be seen. DW had 6 nets out and did not catch a single bird, pretty dire for early August.
At The ARC the Black-winged Stilt was still present but distant in front of Hanson, also the Ruff still present but little else of note could be seen in the terrible light and general all round poor viewing conditions. I'm practising what I preach tomorrow and going to Oare Marshes instead.
