We walked around the three bays to the East of Town this morning. Porthmellon held the largest flock of Sanderling I've ever seen on the Island. My first of the Trip. I confidently counted 210!
The East winds have definitely brought more Black Redstarts to the Islands. I saw three on this Beach...
I moved on to Porthloo which has always been a favourite of mine. more Black Redstarts, at least 6 here...
Ring Ouzels had also arrived in force...but I couldn't find one! I also had my first Wheatear and Chaffinch of the Trip. 6 Little Egrets were resting on the rocks at the Eastern end with a surprise Whimbrel. My second Kingfisher shot across the Bay. Stonechats were plentiful.
Luxury day tomorrow as we're hiring a Cart for the day. Hopefully there'll be something to chase? Still quiet but something is on the way...?
Trip Total - 54
