A Grey Phalarope was picked up flying into the bay this morning; it
landed on the sea just west of the Observation tower and remained on the sea for 20 minutes. It
was difficult to see because of the rough sea, but every so often would fly up then settle back
onto the sea. It flew off west and seemed to land on the sea by the point but could not be relocated.
Also of note was a 1CY Black Guillemot which flew west.
