Evening sea-watch in wet conditions in a light east-south-easterly produced very little. Just 8 Great-crested Grebes and 4 Sandwich Terns sums it up really ! NB/GM
GORING GAP: A Little Tern delighted as it spent a while feeding offshore. There seemed to be a small arrival of migrants, four Wheatears dropping in and the bushes holding another Willow Warbler and four Blackcaps. The 2CY Iceland Gull showed at close range in the south-western field. Other birds included eight Red-breasted Mergansers, 32 Turnstones, 50 Sanderlings, eight Sandwich Terns, three Chiffchaffs, two Skylarks, a Goldcrest, a Green Woodpecker, a Great Spotted Woodpecker, three Meadow Pipits and a Linnet.
