On the sea today 40 Common Scoter and 2 Red-breasted Mergansers were the only species of note, but a Great White Egret, a pair of Pintail around the Broadwater briefly, a Greenshank, Cetti’s Warbler and a male Stonechat on the NWT reserve were all of interest. Two Barn Owls were seen near the village hides.
