Slightly better than expected on the sea

Sea 0700-0830 then 0915-1000
Gannet - 4 in close inshore and high (3 subads)
Kittiwake - flock of 5 close adults in
Common Scoter - distant flock of 5 in
Sanderling - flock of 29 in - definitely all this species
Arctic Tern - 72 in (last flock 0917) but I almost certainly missed 2-3 flocks whilst absent (per Ian at Rossall) - biggest flock 22
Black Tern - two working their way slowly in with mixed gang of Sandwich and Arctic terns as the tide turned c0744hrs.
Sandwich Tern - and still they keep coming - 16 in in dribs and drabs

Thank Janet

House Martin - 4 in
Shag - 2CY wooden jetty
