NWT Holme Dunes

   No obvious signs of any movement today.

 Off shore;

Wigeon - c500 on sea, displaced from grazing marshes by wildfowlers.
Common scoter - at least 1200 off shore.
Long-tailed duck - a male on sea.
Fulmar - two west.
Red-throated diver - eight west and one on sea.
Great Crested Grebe - six west and two on sea.

   The three shorelarks made a reappearance along at Thornham Beach but were later disturbed by photographers.
 
 On the grazing marshes the windy weather got the raptors hunting with up to five marsh harriers accompanied by a huge imm female peregrine, the lapwings and wildfowl (after the early am wildfowling) had a torrid day.
