I caught up with two of my favotite birds for the first time this year - Corn Bunting and Purple Sandpiper. Why are they favourites? Well I have to say that although not rare they do take some effort to find. I also empathise with them. Like me both are on the portly side and like me there singing leaves a lot to be desired.

The main cause of great panic and excitement among the waders at the harbour was not me wandering round the foreshore with my camera but a Sparrowhawk looking for a meal.

There were a couple of other 'good' birds at the harbour. I saw a Red-throated Diver but missed the Sandwich Tern that was found my my birding mate John.
Total on list 80
Lovely.
