Sunday 26th May 2013

The evening saw a full adult pale phase Pomarine Skua offshore with two first summer Little Gull, 50+ Common Scoter and a Red-throated Diver. There are still good numbers of wader around the site with 251+ Dunlin, 195+ Sanderling, 25+ Ringed Plover, a Knot and a Bar-tailed Godwit on the beach over high tide. Elsewhere at least seven Jay and a Jackdaw flew east, two Wheatear were in Greenland Lake and the Cuckoo continues to hold territory.
