We had a special today to see the Grey Seal pups, which duly performed. There were also plenty of cows (females) & aggressive bulls (males). Highlights of the birds there included a Peregrine, which flushed the waders several times; a single Snow Bunting, a Turnstone, a Curlew, and flocks of Brent Geese. We went on to another location, and managed views of more than 30 Snow Buntings with Twite, and then Claude asked what the birds were on the left – sure enough she had found 7 Shore Larks, which eventually flew off south. These were a lifer for several participants.
