An improving day with sunshine but blustery showers. On the sea today an Eider, 2 Long-tailed Ducks, 30 Common Scoters, 11 Red-breasted Mergansers, 3 Red-throated Divers, a Great Northern Diver, 2 Fulmars, a Gannet, 7 Great Crested Grebes and 3 Little Gulls were recorded. A Great White Egret flew over the grazing marshes south mid morning and a Black-tailed Godwit was also of note. A juvenile Peregrine was hunting over the pines giving good views, and among the Brent Geese on the marsh a Pale-bellied Brent was still present.
