This morning the sunrose at 6:47am. Not too long afterwards rain passed through the area for the next few hours, and occassionally was down pouring. To say the least the visibility during early hours of the survey were fair to poor. However, it eventually cleared into a hot and humid day.
Today was a slower day than the first day of sea watch. There were only 56 birds encountered, the most notable bird sighted being a Great Cormorant heading south of the Jetty.
Here are the total counts for the day:
