3rd Dec

The Hume's Warbler was still around the Observatory and cottage gardens and although showing out in the open on numerous occasions it remained very difficult to photograph. Five Black Redstarts were feeding along the power station wall and three Merlins were seen on the beach. The sea was pretty quiet today although a Purple Sandpiper made a brief visit to the beach, two Mediterranean Gulls flew west, two Sandwich Tern flew east and 183 Red-throated Divers passed through.
