Low tide channel morning
...............….Plus a bit of ringing by the office which included un-ringed female Bullfinch and Robin
A very sunny spring like day included the inevitable heat-haze but maybe not as bad as it might had been therefore the low tide count was pretty comprehensive and devoid of much variety
Eider - 462 - 75% ad male
Great-crested Grebe - 10
Red-breasted Merganser - 6
The usual Brent Geese were reported at Half-moon bay, then at Red Nab later
Skylark - at least two over skeer to SE
Recent ringing recovery courtesy of the recent ice allowing the legs of resting gulls to be seen
Black-headed Gull
K03025/JITH
Ringed: AdF. 13/4/13. Musoya Strand, Buskerud,NORWAY 59 45N 10 08E
Seen: 5/7/15 Linnestranda, Lier, Buskerud, NORWAY 8km SE 59 44N 10 16E
Seen: 18-25/5/16 Linnestranda
Seen: 3/2/19 Middleton NR. 974km SW
