Another visit to the patch this morning from the car park up to Poole Place and the surrounding area. Generally quiet again offshore with then ever present trawlers this time close inshore followed by c.150 Gannet. Also several Sandwich Tern moving, 2 Med Gull west and 3 Great-crested Grebe on the flat calm sea.
