Sun 29th Sept 19

Very wet and windy today, so just had a couple of hours on site late morning.

I met up with Pete Loud and he had had a few bits & pieces during an earlier seawatch with Laurence Drummond inc. Gannet and several Sandwich Tern but his birds of the day were a count of 20 Yellow Wagtails on the greensward between the shelter and the PLA pylon. At least 4 of these birds were still around when I left site just before 13:00.
