15th September 2024

A relatively overcast day, with rain from late morning and a high of 16 degrees in a light south-westerly wind. Thirty Little Gulls, a Mediterranean Gull, three Caspian Gulls and a Yellow-legged Gull were off the Fog Station. Thornwick Pools continued to host two Water Rails alongside 29 Teal and two Dunlin, but better still, a Kingfisher was in Thornwick Bay mid-afternoon. Three skeins of Pink-footed Geese tallying 115 birds flew south over the headland, while five Goldcrests also represented signs of autumn.
