With a stiff NNW wind blowing and only 2º, it wasn't surprising that I was on my own at the sea watch hide for a the poorest sea watch of the year. When I left the hide I joined Dave Bunney for a chat and a warming cup of tea, sitting in the sun staring out across the shingle not seeing any wheatears, though an hour later there was c20 of them along the beach.
I went to the DMG and found a minimum of 10 newly arrived Wheatears but very little else.

A late afternoon stroll up to the Water Tower was rewarded by a phone call from Richard telling me that there was a Crane circling high over Burrowes, when I eventually locked onto the bird it was over Kerton Road heading for Lade where I lost it in the haze.
