3 Manx smudges from this morning
A horrible day of howling gales with intermittent light showers meant another a few hours spent in the sea watch hide, which will hopefully still be intact tomorrow as the storm continues overnight.

Another hour watching this afternoon produced barely a bird.
The Tufted Duck had taken over the abandoned Coots nest
The Glossy Ibis pushed the Tufted Duck out and made some alterations
Admiring its work
Add a bit more weed
Try it for comfort
Yup that will do nicely
The new owner of the nest today
