Unfortunately the floor paint in the hide has not dried, so the hide is still closed at the moment.

Things looked much the same from the pillbox this morning but the chill NW wind was making it difficult to stop the eyes watering. A single Peregrine was on the track across the arable and a Buzzard over the marsh, a pair of Stonechat were on the hedge by the hide gate.
Out of the wind on the seawall 3 Purple Sandpipers were again very obliging, showing down to a few feet.

The Coal Tit was in the bushes to the left of the 5 bar gate and a Kestrel was having a late Breakfast.
