Started walk from lighthouse and through to Links Hill and return via sea front. Bright day and got better for time of year ok. As I started walk a very confiding JAY put in a bright appearance. Altogether 7 CHIFFCHAFF and 1 WHITETHROAT. also a female BLACKCAP along North Dene's cliff. I also had a flyover SPARROW HAWK here. A few GREENFOINCH trying to feed on rowan berries when allowed by the young BLACKBIRDS who wanted to get in on the act. WREN'S and ROBINS in abundance. Along sea wall MEADOW PIPIT and PIED WAG. Only had one TURNSTONE but then it was high tide. Plenty of COMMON TERNS and only 1 SANDWHICH TERN. Also a few HOUSE SPARROWS at Birds Eye.
Ness Point: Best birds where 4 LITTLE GULLS flying south followed them down as far as the Newcome Buoy. 2 Adult birds and 2 juvenile. Also had a 3 OYSTERCATCHER and only 1 TURNSTONE again. Plenty of tern's offshore, but all well out. The only other mention was 3 COMMON SCOTER flying south 2 females and a male.
