21st August

On a windy and increasingly wet day birding wasn't too easy, 44 juvenile Bar-tailed Godwits on nouster beach were new in and the Wood Sandpiper was again on gretchen. A hours sea-watch early afternoon produced three Sooty and seven Manx Shearwaters and two Storm Petrels though viewing wasn't easy due to the weather. A Cuckoo was also seen by a visiting birder.
