Two Great White Egrets flew west offshore this morning along  with 17 Mediterranean Gulls. A juvenile Caspian Gull also flew by and was later seen amongst the throng of gulls at the Patch.

Three Porpoises and a Grey Seal were seen offshore but the highlight of the day was a pod of three White-beaked Dolphins which spent ten minutes or so feeding offshore.
