Very quiet around the peninsula at the moment, though there are still Reed, Sedge and Cetti's Warblers singing along with the odd Blackcap and the usual July Sand Martins. The first returning waders Common Sandpipers and Greenshanks. The Avocets are now down to just 2 chicks with all the Ringed Plovers predated and most of the Common Terns around the reserve deserting probably due to predators. At the beach the first juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls are turning up, with a few Sandwich and Common Terns off shore, a westward trickle of Gannets and Kittiwakes.
