1st calendar year Little Gull

Adult Kittiwake, both on No.2 outfall

Heysham skear (Malcolm) 09:00 - 11:30

Nothing on the sea except for at least one juvenile Shag

Juvenile Shag, possibly the same as Kevin's bird

Little Egret 3

Waders pretty much as recent except 

Sanderling 1

Knot 1200

Sanderling amongst the Knot. It must have quickly moved on. I was distracted by
the orange flagged Knot, and when I looked for the Sanderling again there was
no sign of it

There were a decent number of flagged Knot seen, but they weren't all so easy to read.

Sometimes you have to wait for a wave trough to reveal the flag

I also had to wait out a couple of showers, but it was well worth the wait.
Over ten new flagged birds were seen, many seen here in previous years
showing site fidelity.
