A dry day with the odd sunny spell. A west to NW wind
Pete managed a 15 minute check from Ocean Edge around high water
Likely 2cy Little gull hey one outfalls but tricky watching from Ocean Edge
2cy kittiwake seen once in a sweep.
Two Manx Shearwater
One Gannet offshore
I had a walk along the sea wall 10:30 - 12:00 - Malcolm
The 2nd calendar year Kittiwake was patrolling the sea wall and checking out both outfalls

| It really is in a sorry state! |
This is it flying towards No.1 outfall
I just got to No.1 outfall too late!
A Common Tern was just flying off to the SE
What looked to be a 2cy Little gull was at the seaward end of the outfall, but by the time I got my camera set it had either moved on or landed on the sea.

| One of several 2nd calendar year Common Gulls |
When I returned to the outfall after checking the harbour a Sandwich Tern was feeding.

Rock Pipit 2 along the sea wall
I returned this evening, hoping the Little gull would be showing better, but no Little Gull, no Terns and not even the 2cy Kittiwake.
But there was a nice 3rd calendar year Mediterranean gull
