A quiet morning between 0720 and 0850.

2 Red throated Diver out
1 Common Scoter – female flying up the estuary
25 Kittiwake in
1 Gannet in
6 Ringed Plover
5 Sandwich Tern

Rock Pipit – male singing most of the time I was there.

Also steady stream of Swallows in

#3144

A quiet morning for you Phil- granted. But not as quiet as my watch this morning:

0715-0945, W1-2 later NW3 (2 oktas- later 6, dry)

Swallow 5 NE
Red-breasted Merganser pair in at high tide
Goldfinch 1 N
Guillemot 1 NE
Osprey 1* NE along Morecambe Front 0910

no tern passage but 5 or 6 Sandwich Terns feeding at close range and in middle distance, also two Great Crested Grebes.

No sight or sound of Rock Pipit on jetty.

Can anyone beat this tomorrow?

*PJM had another Osprey sighting earlier in the morning– one seen moving in bay (NE?) off Heysham around 0730.
