Some of the 380 Little Gulls that passed the fishing boats this afternoon
As soon as the weather improved the passage ended as they appeared to move further out to sea,


 
Owen, Richard and myself were in the sea watch hide when Jacob called on the radio 5 Bean Geese heading for the new lighthouse, by the time we tumbled out of the hide they were heading out to sea, which is my excuse for such a poor image of them.
There 4 Black Redstarts along the perimeter wall this morning
There was smattering of Redwings and Ring Ouzels around this morning, though I only saw a single Ring Ouzel departing rapidly West. At least 4 Woodcock were seen alas not by me.
My first Goldcrest of the autumn
There was no sign of yesterdays of Yellow-browed Warbler, which I failed miserably to photograph.
Lot of Chiffchaffs around

    Nice to see you today, we (as in my grandad, Simon, we saw you on the way to the sea today, around eight pm ish)

    From the screen hide, I found a Great Grey Shrike hovering. That was the highlight of a meh day out, Merlins, Peregrines, GSWP and a few Pintail were nice.

    If you were wondering who I was, I was the young kid who said are they Gannets to the right of the buoy, while you were talking to the grandad, Simon.

    Have a good week

    Harry
