27th July 2007 - overcast W4
Rarities
The Hudsonian Whimbrel was again at Snab Point on the morning tide, though proving elusive in the tidal creeks as the low tides fail to cover the saltings.
Offshore
A quieter morning (0615-0715) produced 100 Gannet, 75 Manx Shearwater, 60 Common Scoter, 30 Sandwich Tern, 10 Kittiwake and single Common Tern and Guillemot. Later observations (1320-1450 & 1530-1600) were highlighted by a Leach's Petrel moving north and at least 5 lingering Storm Petrels along with 70 Manx Shearwater, 20 Common Scoter, 20 Sandwich Tern, 15 Gannet and a single Shag and Common Tern.
Miscellaneous
At least 2 Little Egrets frequented the channelside tidal pools.
