Seawatching for an hour late this afternoon was fairly uneventful, with the highlight being a couple of flocks (36 and 14) of
Grey Plover flying south far out to sea, these records being the first of the year of a species that is becoming increasingly uncommon on the estuary. Other birds included c.40
Kittiwake, c.30
auk sp., 50+
Gannet, two
Fulmar and a distant small
skua sp..
A check of Passage House as the sun was setting revealed the roost islands crawling in c.250+
Pied Wagtails, which subsequently made their way over to the reedbeds in small groups to roost.
