18th Sep

With a strong NE wind blowing coverage on the land was very difficult but it was clear that there was very little to be seen in the bushes. Over four hours of seawatching produced just 13 Brent Geese, seven Shelduck, 32 Wigeon, five Teal, eight Pintail, 20 Ringed Plovers, two Bar-tailed Godwits, six Mediterranean Gulls and eight Arctic Skuas and single first-winter Caspian and Yellow-legged Gulls on the beach. A Rock Pipit was also seen on the beach.

Four Porpoises and two Grey Seals were feeding offshore.
