Gann

A good number of small waders on this morning's high tide.  At least 70 Dunlin contained the colour-ringed/flagged bird, 15 Ringed Plover, 4 Sanderling and 2 Turnstone.  A Sandwich Tern flew in to the bay, called several times, and flew out again.  2 Chough, my first here for ages, also flew in across the bay but settled to feed on the grassy spit next to the coast path.  The 2CY Mediterranean Gull was snoozing on Cormorant Island and the Dublin-ringed Oystercatcher (yellow X4) was still present amongst a group of 50 or so.
