Early start

 As the weather was going to be good we had a change and did our local patch early. 

Norby had  so many shags it was almost impossible to count but we think  somewhere between 200 and 300. The whole bay seemed full of them.







There was a Little Gull there yesterday, but we couldn't find it.

Melby beach was also busy with lots of waders and red throated divers.









It was good to see 5 Arctic Terns still holding out at Melby.




We got back just after lunch to do a bit more chipping out of the wall and pointing.
