The Velvet Scoter remained off the pier throughout and on 28th the Stock Dove was seen in the Kirbest crop again. On 26th a Lesser black-backed Gull flew south through the Island while waders on the beach at Nouster included 156 Sanderlings, 44 Dunlins and 60 Ringed Plovers. 8 Redwings on 27th were the first for a few weeks and Skylark numbers continued to build with 76 present on the final day of the month.
