Holme Bird Observatory; I spent the morning in this area and sea watching. There was not too much around the observatory grounds, a roving Tit flock with a single Chiffchaff, a few Goldfinch were in the Dell and Conifers. A Weasel ran quickly across the path towards the dunes.
Over the grazing marsh a Buzzard, Marsh Harrier and several parties of Snipe. A Spoonbill flew along the Broad Water.
Sea-watching proved interesting with a steady flow of Gannet westward. Red-Throated Divers, a Guillemot and at least 8 Great-crested Grebe were on the sea. A drake Red-breasted Merganser flew west. A close in-shore Manx Shearwater flew passed eastward. Several Sandwich Tern and a single Common Tern flew by. A flock of Bar-tailed Godwits and several flocks of Oystercatcher passed. Common Scoter were seen on the sea, one flock of at least 150 were distant, with others seen closer.
A Grey Seal was occasional seen messing around just off shore
