A mid morning wander around the patch found nothing in particular. Two Sand Martin around the setaside being the highlight, c50 Swift moving through west and a few Swallow around Atherington. Several each of Skylark, Greenfinch, Whitethroat, Chiffchaff and Reed Warbler with singles of Yellowhammer and Kestrel. Very quiet offshore with 6 Med Gull west and a Great-crested Grebe east.
