13 of us took a gamble on the weather this morning, and were rewarded with some excellent sightings! Great to meet old and new friends.

We went down to the sea at Sker Point, then across the dunes on many small paths to the hide . 47 species were found between us, the highlights being an OSPREY!! flying east along the coast, a Hobby chasing dragonflies over the pool, 50+ swallows throughout the morning-also flying east, a Whinchat and couple of Wheatear.

Many thanks to Dave Carrington for leading, and several other experts who helped us all .
