Saturday was spent walking out to the Oyster House on Old Law. Highlights included long-tailed duck (12), common scoter (28), red breasted merganser (2), red-necked grebe (1), sanderling (44), ringed plover (9 - some birds were holding breeding territory) and grey plover (16). A peregrine (immature female) was at the Oyster House, one stonechat and good numbers of skylarks. There were at least 500 grey seals hauled out at the point.
An afternoon walk on Sunday at Branton Ponds produced shoveler (2), goldeneye (14), great created grebe (1), little grebe, sand martin (10+), water rail (1), good numbers of reed buntings, meadow pipits and commoner waterfowl.
