Eiders

 A look at East Head on Friday produced six or maybe seven Eider offshore at low water, c.100 Swallows and a handful of Sand & House Martins over plus a few Tree Pipits (exceptional year for these) and Yellow Wagtails. Also around c,.150 Common Sandwich Terns offshore, c.320 Mediterranean Gulls, two Wheatears, a Willow Warbler, 20 Linnets and a few Whitethroats. On the creek were 25 Black tailed Godwits.
