19th May

Another quiet day with a couple of notable birds in the form of a Shag offshore and a Tree Sparrow at the Point. 

Two Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.

Dragonflies seen today included 53 Variable Damselflies.

Elsewhere, it was surprisingly good for waders with the RSPB Reserve holding 31 Grey Plovers, 56 Ringed Plovers, a Greenshank, ten Knot, four Little Stints and best of all, a Temminck's Stint which eventually gave good views from Hanson Hide.
