Common Scoter west past the Bouy this morning
Juvenile Yellow-legged Gull feeding on Whitebait
An oddly enjoyable sea watch seeing 600+ Swift fly out to sea, a stream of Mediterranean Gulls heading west feeding along the shoreline on the abundance of Whitebait, I saw 174 but I'm sure many more slipped by underneath my scope as I was counting Swifts out at sea and looking for Shearwaters that didn't appear.

The ARC was fairly quiet today with all the usual birds still present but nothing new, Cooks Pool held Cattle and Great White Egret, many Sand Martins could be seen heading south all over the reserve.
A Glossy Ibis was seen to drop into the tower pits per RW.
