At Thornwick Pool today were four Snipe, a Grey Wagtail, a Green Sandpiper and the juvenile Cuckoo was still making an appearance. There was an adult intermedius Lesser black-backed Gull on the golf course this morning and three Willow Warblers were recorded on the outer head. Hirundine numbers are building up over the village, with a large group of 200+ Swallows seen feeding, and (not bird related for a change) there appeared to be an influx of Red Admiral butterfly arriving, with numbers observed along the cliff-top and seen coming in-off.
Between South Dyke and South Landing there were two Common Sandpiper, three Whimbrel and eight Sanderling.
