A surprising couple of hours this morning, not sleeping because of the heat, I took myself to Climping beach at 05:30. High tide was 07:30 and found several Med Gull, Sandwich Tern and Gannet feeding on a calm sea, also 4w Little Tern moving, 1e Whimbrel, 3w Sanderling and 5e Oystercatcher. 

The highlight of the morning being a Marsh Tit, which was rummaging around in bushes along the beach behind Atherington Pools. Rattled a couple of pictures before it moved into wood.

Marsh Tit

Along the beach 2 Little Ringed Plover with 2 chicks, 2 Ringed Plover, a Cuckoo flew into the setaside landing on a post and flew straight off into the horse paddock, 1 Grey Partridge, 1 Yellow Wagtail 6 Sand Martin, 12 Swift 9 Little Egret and 1 Grey Heron. Two year ticks and in my reckoning not a bad return for a couple of hours.
