St Cath's

Initially we tried a sea watch but it was very quiet - in quite murky conditions. Save a few gannets and sarnies moving east, it just wasn't happening.
Quite a vocal and eventually showy firecrest was in the nearby grounds and tamarisk.
A few swallows made land too.
And several wheatear dropped in; numbers of which generally have seemed quite low thus far; but 6 was a better number.
One white wagtail went over too.

At least four of the wheatears - honest
