Very light SE breeze, low cloud all day.
Pale-bellied Brent goose 37 - seen in the corner near Half Moon Bay cafe (thanks Alan), then at 14:00 flew along the south wall and landed on Red Nab. This is about as tight a "formation" as I've seen them fly in (MD).
Other stuff from South shore:
Wigeon 223 turned up just as the tide reached Red Nab
Shelduck 27
Rock Pipit 2 - 3 one near lighthouse plus one along sea wall, possibly the same bird as later seen on Red Nab
Shag 1 juvenile in the harbour
Kingfisher 1 male providing a good show about an hour before high water. Janet managed some nice in flight shots, these are much more difficult than they look, mine are always either a blue or orange blur!
