27th July

In still wilder conditions there was a surprise highlight in the form of a Black Guillemot wrecked in Chesil Cove early in the afternoon; from a distance, we're unsure quite what the totals of more conventional seabirds were, but it seems like the best of the bunch at the Bill were at least 20 Balearic Shearwaters and a Yellow-legged Gull. Wader numbers were much reduced at Ferrybridge, where 8 Sanderling, a Little Ringed Plover and a Common Sandpiper provided the only quality.
