It was likely that some had already flown off.
Outflows early evening - ebbing tide (MD)
I went down early to watch the beach between the outflows become exposed - hoping for yesterday’s darvic ringed adult Mediterranean to return. The only Meds that turned up today were these 2cy and 3cy birds.
Plenty of juvenile Black-Headed gulls around, some well on their way into moult to first winter plumage.
Whimbrel - at least 3, probably 5 or more.
Grey seal 1
