If you get up and put some effort in even in rubbishy north-easterlies with high cloud, it sometimes pays off, even when only available until 0900hrs. Quite a few bits and bobs later for Janet on Middleton:
Pollinated Blue Tit!
Purple Sandpiper north wall rocks with turnstone 0900
Sedge Warbler - one Middleton pm - see pic - early for here (no morning check for gropper today)
Sea 0635-0720
Common Scoter - flock of 8 in then out
Red-throated Diver - 6+8 in, joined up and seemed to land on the sea off Stone jetty area. One out
Arctic Tern - flock of 7 in (IOY)
Sandwich Tern - two together in
Ocean Edge/Red Nab
Osprey - one NE at 0730 putting every seagull up in the area! Not sure exactly where it came from as not noticed until all the Red Nab stuff I was watching lifted up. No colour rings seen/photographed!!
