Another afternoon out on Tiki, no fish again, though I did have a bite. Maybe third time lucky.
On the breakwater a pair of Rock Pipits with food, 2 Great Black-backed Gulls and some noisy Oystercatchers. On the buoys Sandwich Terns and Common Terns, whilst in The Fleet the Little Terns were on the moorings again. On the "Slow Down" marker a Cormorant was posing for the camera.
Here are a few images:
