Knoll beach at midday featured 4 Black-necked Grebe and a Great Northern Diver offshore accompanied by a loose flock of Brent Goose and a scattering of Great Crested Grebes. An unseasonal Swallow over was also notable! A flock of Sanderling were also feeding along the beach.

Wednesday’s Yellow-browed Warbler was still present at Chad’s Copse, hopefully the bird will stick around and over-winter! Wintering Spoonbill numbers are currently at 15 individuals from Shipstal Point.
