55 Common Scoter and 1 Common Tern over the sea. Corn Bunting and Hobby near Old Fall and a Short-eared owl Hunting over Northclifff Marsh. The two 1st summer Mute Swans remain at Thornwick and the BTO ring has been read, so hopefully some news on its origins. 2 juvenile Stonechat continue to entertain there also plus Ringed Plover.
