Sorry about the delay in this posting, my internet at home is down and could be for a few days, so I'm having to post this from my daughter's (MD).

A walk in the morning on the rising tide. Overcast but dry with a south wind.

Meadow Pipit 5 east (1, 2 & 2)
Kingfisher 1 showing well again on Red Nab
Stonechat 2 males, one elusive around saltmarsh plus this one feeding near the lighthouse

Mistle Thrush 3 grounded at the lighthouse
Mid afternoon there was a heavy downpour, when it had stopped I had another quick look around and located 3 additional Stonechat - so total for the day 5
There was a male and female/immature in the copse just behind Red Nab, before moving inland

Another female/immature was along Imperial Road. By this time the sun was out, making seeing difficult, but images enigmatic
