A cloudy cool day, and a very busy one with many people visiting the cove. Unsurprisingly a majority of birds were at the far north-east corner of the beach and were either on the cliff face or on the rocks.
Just 1 female Black Redstart remains, the other female Black Redstart and Stonechat seemed to have moved on. At least the Rock Pipits were in good numbers again with 17 recorded. The Grey Wagtail was here, but there was no sign of the Pied Wagtails.
Other highlights were a Chiffchaff at Rufus Castle and 2 Goldcrests in Penns Wood.
Overhead a Sparrowhawk flew over Penns Wood and an Oystercatcher crossed the bay.
Here are a few images from today:
