At Elmer Rocks the best birds this morning were a single Slavonian Grebe and a fairly distant Great Northern Diver offshore, along with at least 45 Red-breasted Mergansers (some displaying) and just a couple of Great Crested Grebes. Around 40 Med Gulls were also present, either on the sea or flying around, whilst on the beach 14 Grey Plovers and a single Sanderling briefly dropped in as the tide rose. Later, a single Rock Pipit was on the rocks for a while and a Great Spotted Woodpecker was drumming in the woods.(OM)
