Sadly, very few birds in and around the harbour on an incoming tide. Still a good number of Purple Sandpipers and of course, Turnstones. I failed to find any Redshank, which is unusual. Kittiwake numbers seem well down, particularly on the fish dock wall. It is also sad to see an increase in netting on buildings to deter them breeding. Sadly, the endangered Kittiwakes, along with most seabirds, are loyal and traditional to their nest site and partner. Failure to reach their nests will probably result in a failure to breed this year. Humans can be so thoughtless and cruel.

I mentioned above the sadness at seeing netting placed to deter Kittiwakes nesting but this image always amuses me!
