What day is it?? No idea!!















So, above are Oystercatcher and Common Tern, first BHG chicks, Common Tern with a snack, four of sixteen Turnstones and three Black'wits.

Another brief jaunt to Hill Head where a very low tide and no wind ensured no wind surfers but still plenty of camper vans parked up. God, what I'd give for a coffee and cooked brekkie!! Offshore a male Common Scoter was preening and a Gannet was diving very distantly off the Isle of Wight. Within the reserve just the above stuff, a few Reed Warblers and Linnets but with no wind the Swifts from the previous visit had moved away.

The BHGs, Common Terns and Oystercatchers were kept on their guard by a prowling, predatory Lesser Black.

Chatted to Tony and home by 10:00 am.
