9am update
I decided to narrow things down!
I started at 6. Sunny but a ridiculously cool 9c...feels like 6!!! I don't do "stupid'o'clock" these days...well, not often anyway.
Things going rather well. Early highlights on Bud walk down Seaside produced GSW, Blackcap, Fulmar, Lesser Black-backed Gull and Song Thrush. There was a constant stream of Sand Martins North also.
Snakey was on form . My best sighting considering the crops was a lone Grey Partridge tucked in a field margin. Other notables were Heron, Marsh Harrier, Buzzard Greenfinch and Yellowhammer.
Just added House Sparrow at Cliff Farm. Time for a Seawatch.
Total 37
Stay tuned...
1pm update
Things have inevitably slowed down somewhat...and that's putting it mildly! I've added Great Tit, Starling and a lone Black-headed Gull on the remaining Snakey pool. The wind has picked up...yet again and the Sea is...dead.
Quite a few glaring omissions, so plenty still to "go at"
Stay tuned...

5pm update
The hoped for "Rarity" (contextually) appeared...and promptly disappeared South at 3pm in the form of a Red Kite! It was accompanied by c10 Swifts. I celebrated with a quick visit to Tesco. While having a bite in a layby I had a quick scan out to Sea and "jammed" a Gannet.
A return home for Bud coincided with the startling sight of a Heron on our back fence as I put the rubbish out. As I caught sight of it, it took off and flew low over my head!! A stroll down to the Sea notched Kestrel and a couple of Sandwich Terns.
Can I break 50? Bet you're on the edge of your seat!?.

Stay tuned...
9.45 pm update
A really enjoyable day, despite the unfavorable Weather. I'll put some meat on the bones tomorrow...
