I did a walk from Elmer Rocks to Atherington/ Bailiffs but it was all very quiet really..... A solitary Brent Goose was on the beach around the rocks early on, before moving to feed in the fields, west of Poole Place. Offshore were 2 Common Scoter, 3 Red-throated Divers, c.15 Great Crested Grebes and 35+ R/b Mergansers (some displaying, whilst 3 Gannets drifted W well out. On the rocks at high tide were 21 Grey Plover, 20 Ringed Plover, a single Dunlin and perhaps up to 10 Turnstone. Passerines were almost non-existent....4 Skylarks in the kale field (Cudlows) and a distant Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming and nothing of note in Bailiffs....all I could find were a few Blue and Great Tits, with no sign of a Treecreeper or Little Owl!!!
