NWT Holme Dunes
No obvious signs of movement other than a shag west close in shore, this co-inciding with Andy Brown finding three at Hunstanton Cliffs, including a colour-ringed bird. These were certainly new arrivals to the area as I'd visited the cliffs twice this week, looking for the purple sandpiper, and both times at dusk. This being the best time to look for roosting birds on the ledges, but on both occasions no birds were present.
Off shore two long-tailed ducks were with the common scoters, but distant. A great northern diver was also reported. On the beach the three shorelarks were seen early, but disappeared by the afternoon.
