Turnstone
Quite quiet around the harbour this morning, probably due to it being high tide. Turnstones were in good number but I was unable to locate any Redshanks. A single Purple Sandpiper was on the harbour wall (distant) and three Sandwich Terns headed over. Kittiwake chicks seem to be doing well in both the town and harbour areas.

Kittiwakes
Kittiwakes are beautiful birds, but when their chicks fledge, they are even more so. When they fledge and throughout their first year, Kittiwake juveniles are often referred to as "Tarrocks".
