Continental Coal Tits

I wasn't expecting much on the sea this morning with the strong easterly blowing, which was just as well.
08.05-09.05 from the sea watch hide:
Brent Goose: 4E       16W
Teal: 14W
Wigeon: 32W
Common Scoter: 8E   1W
Gannet: c20 around
Great Skua: 1 around
Arctic Skua: 3 around
Sandwich Tern: c15 around
Linnet: 70E
1 of 2 Continental Coal Tits at West Beach
3 hours covering every patch of cover in the Desert saw:
Redstart: 1
Whinchat: 2
Wheatear: 3
Robin: 9
G S Woodpecker: 1
Skylark: 1E
Meadow Pipit: c200 Grounded
Swallow: 57 into wind
Stock Dove: 8
Siskin: 4+
Chiffchaff: 9
Yellow Wagtail: 1
Continental Coal Tit: 2  My 204th species on the peninsular this year.
Black Redstart: 3
Clouded Yellow: 1
Hare: 1







 Dengemarsh and the Gully held a single Wheatear, 2 Stonechats, 3 Chiffchaff, c60 Meadow Pipits, 5 Yellow Wagtails a Sparrowhawk, Marsh Harrier and a Raven over. Elsewhere the Great White Egrets have increased to 6 on Burrowes per MH.
A very poor effort!
