The sea watching is just about stuttering along with absolutely no surprises, Auk numbers are picking up, Red-throated Divers are now ever present in tiny numbers as yet, Gannets, Kittiwakes, Sandwich Terns, and Mediterranean Gulls make up the bulk of the birds, just a very small trickle of Brent Geese. On the land the superb Pallid Harrier continues to be difficult to catch up with, unless you are lucky or put a lot of time in, the 3 Glossy Ibis and 3 Egret species can still be found around the reserve along with the usual wildfowl, waders apart from Lapwing and a couple of Golden Plover are non existent at the moment. The reed beds are quiet now just the occasional Bearded Tit and Marsh Harriers quartering them. In the bushes Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps and Tit parties are all that's left, hopefully soon the Crests, Thrushes and Finches will arrive.
Red-throated Diver past the fishing boats today
This angler reeled in several nice Bass, but he wasn't the only one catching them.
