Dene's and North Wall

Walk through this morning brought in an initial worry which turned out to be a WILLOW WARBLER feeding very low as sometimes they do. This was followed on the Oval by a very well coloured GREEN WOODPECKER.. On exiting alley a GREENFINCH must be nesting close by as it licked off well. The sound of a GARDEB WARBLER, heard but as usual not seen. Followed by several COMMON WHITETHROAT. Eight birds in all scattered on cliff and also over the Dene's. Walk back only produced plenty of SWALLOWS flying south again and 2 PIED WAG. A few KITTYWAKES where struggling against the strong wind from the south. On the North Wall at Birds Eye 9 TURNSTONE and 8 SANDLING. These birds where in variable plumage as to be expected with one very rufus bird which remained elusive. There was also 2 DUNLIN in really good plumage as can be seen below. I like waders? At the Ness 3 RINGED PLOVER which were trying to dodge the spray.
