With the peninsular still being swept by this annoying strong wind the few birds that are around were keeping their heads down, so a long wander around the reserve saw very little. The 2 Avocet pairs are still sitting on the slivers of islands on the ARC from Hanson, a few Hobbys were darting around seemingly not very successful in catching much. Once the clouds moved through most of the Swifts departed with them.
