Ouch and back down to earth with a bump. Just 2 Chiffchaffs, a Blackcap and a single Goldcrest seen today. Not a single Firecrest or Long-tailed Tit seen or heard and the beach wasn't much better with just 6 Rock Pipits and no wagtails seen or heard either.
The Blackcap was in Penns Wood with a Chiffchaff, another Chiff was at the back of the cove and the single Goldcrest was along the railway cutting.
Out to sea a single Gannet heading down the coast and a Cormorant was fishing just off the beach.
