The south bay has an early morning gull and tern roost that this morning attracted 2 adult Roseate Terns and 3 Little Gulls. This had dispersed by 09:30 with many birds moving into the quieter north bay.
Mid-morning two adult Roseate Terns were in the small roost at Beacon Point along with two 1st-summer Little Gulls. Golden Plover numbers continue to increase with 45 present this morning along with 4 Sanderlings. The roost was spooked by an Arctic Skua and one of the local fishermen over the space of an hour.
Whilst watching the roost I noticed some Manx Shearwaters close in flying south, I was surprised as the string of birds kept coming into view and counted c.50 in this single group.
