A much quieter day at Long Nab compared to yesterday, on the move there (south unless stated) were 1 Red-throated Diver north, 3 Manx Shearwater north, 7 Teal + 12 north, 12 Common Scoter + 128 north, 8 Oystercatcher, 2 Turnstone, 1 Curlew + 2 north, 3 Whimbrel + 1 north, 3 Sandwich Tern + 9 north, 1 Arctic Skua, 31 Black-headed Gull + 4 north, 2 Common Gull + 1 north, 1 Arctic Tern north, 8 Puffin + 1 north and 2 Sand Martin in off and north.
The Little Egret was still present on Johnson's Marsh and at Wykeham South Lake a cream-crown Marsh Harrier flew west, 7 Oystercatcher and a Curlew flew south and present there were 5 Egyptian Geese, 2 Shelduck, 1 Great Crested Grebe, 2 Oystercatcher and 1 Little Ringed Plover.
The two eggs recently seen in the Great Black-backed Gull nest are obviously addled, a rather well grown juvenile has been seen moving around the rooftop.
