Well......perhaps it is something that you can see every day!

A dry, but mainly overcast day. A SW breeze

Imperial Rd (Malcolm) 11:00

Buzzard 1 soaring 

Sedge Warblers singing

Stonechat 1 male plus at least 1 juvenile.

Juvenile with the male Stonechat. What looked to be another juvenile 
had just flown off.

The male was constantly calling

He seems to be getting a response.

North shore (David Kaye)

Avocets 3 flew south across the skear

South shore (Malcolm) 14:15 - 15:30

I timed the walk to be the same stage of the tide as yesterday, to see if the Gannet had returned. It was clearly finding plenty to fish for yesterday. And sure enough......

Gannet 1 adult

It was resting on the sea between No.1 outfall and the wooden jetty

Only 50m out from the sea wall

Presumably it had already eaten its fill as it just drifted out with the ebbing tide. Then it decided to have a fly around the area, clearly it was in good health.

It then flew back between the outfalls and had one unsuccessful dive before I left.

Same time tomorrow?

Kittiwake at least 1 adult 

Kittiwake 

Mediterranean gull at least 12 resting on the mud between the outfalls, no gulls went to the beach next to the wooden jetty

Rock Pipit 4 at least. One on Red Nab. The behaviour of the lighthouse birds had changed. The male has returned to displaying and feeding himself. There were two other adults, one, presumably Mum wasn't happy about me being there, and gave me a good chirping at! Hopefully protecting at least one young somewhere close by.

Later I saw her fly over to the wooden jetty.

Clouded Yellow 1 female. It was along the edge of the track between Red Nab and Ocean Edge

Not great inflight shots, but good enough to confirm as a female.
Pete advises that sightings nationally are very low this year
