The lack of even a hint of sunshine today saw the temperature hover in the low single figures all day; however, that didn't deter the weekend visitors and there was some decent coverage. A
Golden Plover over the Bill and 7
Brent Geese passing by offshore were another nod to the drop in temperature but the bulk of the day's sightings were of routine lingerers:
7 Purple Sandpipers, 4
Turnstones and a
Black Redstart at the Bill, 2
Red-throated Divers through on the sea there, the
Black Redstarts at both Church Ope Cove and Chesil Cove, 15
Black-necked Grebes, 2
Great Northern Divers, a
Black-throated Diver and a
Common Scoter in Portland Harbour and 78
Oystercatchers, 89
Black-headed Gulls and the
Merlin at Ferrybridge.
