Recent sightings from Rock-a-Nore
This morning was remarkably calm, ideal for looking at birds on the sea. Great Crested Grebes are usually present in small numbers, so a record count for me of 142 was unexpected, as was a Common Seal which appeared briefly. There was no sign of the lone Purple Sandpiper which frequented the eastern breakwater last week.
