After a very wet night, the morning dawned bright and sunny. I was hopeful that the bushes would would be alive with migrants and that yesterdays Long Tailed Skua would be in the harbour harassing the terns. It was not to be!
Two Wheatear in the 'old' car park were the only migrants and a Blackbird was enjoying the puddles.

Apart from that a few Turnstones were preening along the shoreline....

Nevertheless, although quiet on the bird front it was a perfect morning to be out and about early...not a breath of wind, warm sun...perfection! |

Your blog is a must read for me, as someone who has a caravan on Church Farm - and these are some of the best photos I've seen in your posts. Terrific shots of the Turnstones!
