An early morning seawatch was very disappointing, with a half hour stint producing no more than two Fulmar and three Common Scoters! An impressive sight though was the Golden Plovers on the Grazing Marsh with over a thousand birds present. Two Snow Buntings were on the beach near Gore Point and a Greenshank was in the Harbour at Thornham.
