Eight folk took a gamble on the weather this morning and were well rewarded!

We saw/ heard a total of 51 species. The highlights were – Osprey on the coast over the sea, Peregrine Falcon flying over, 7 Whimbrel at Sker Point, 8+ Wheatear, 10+ White Wagtail, a very smart Red Bunting and a pair of Kestrel perched near the barn at Sker House, and … a bright Yellow Wagtail by the pond at Sker.
