In a near Easterly gale - 5 Sanderling, 4 Dunlin, 2 Ringed Plover. The 3 Black Swans still present. Having looked at them over the past few days, it seems that they may be a family of sorts - 2 are quite black, the the third is quite brown - reminiscent of faded creosote & sometimes is quite separate from the other two.
