A note from Skye:
Well not too much to report today, driving rain was the morning, a pittance of birds in the afternoon, and mist and fog for the evening. Sadly our several day streak of jaegers was broken, and only a handful of non-waterbirds were seen, though there were a few good(ish for the seawatch..) warblers, namely 3 Blackpolls, a Pine and a Yellow Palm Warbler. But stay tuned, I think things are really going to shake loose soon! I think the bemused patience that this young Laugher is displaying in today's photo really captured the zeitgeist of the day.
