Pesky Purps

Another flat, grey, soulless day spent close to home with just one calling Chiffchaff locally and fourteen Purple Sandpipers playing hard to get by roosting on the green Castle buoy. Luckily for me they were flushed by a gull and eventually settled nervously on the rocks before flying again, re-settling further along and then getting on with feeding. Another Shag, younger and different from Saturday's bird plus two Rock Pipits, one being particularly confiding and sporting a noticeable white flash on its head.
No camera today.
