We were down on the beach a good while the cameraman got his shots, which gave me time to scan the sea - six red-breasted mergansers have appeared since last night.

whizz forward to 06:25 to get to the story
We talked about bycatch and driftnet fishing a lot, but sadly none of that made it onto the final cut, I guess there isn't much of a story, puffins die as result of completely legal fishing which isn't affecting the population....
MSK and ADMc had both told me recently that they had seen little owl on Druridge Lane, just outside the patch, well, today I saw one at last. Sadly though, not as I would have wished, it was squashed, on the road..
It was certainly worth the early morning, Ian and I caught over 30 birds at E. Chev, mostly juvenile reed and sedge warblers as well as this nice juvvy reed bunting

Aye, saw the puffin article.
And now this about the Coastal walk?
That now 4 minutes of fame - you're becoming a media whore :)
Yeah, I know....Was hoping they might come out everyday and a bit about each stage.. I'll be deep in Stewart's patch tomorrow!
