I had an email from Rob who was on Tory last weekend


Hi Peter,

A few highlights,

Merlin, around the lighthouse.
Buzzard, 1 mostly around east town.
Peregrine, 1 west end.
Eider, ad male, female and 1st summer male in the harbour.
Corncrake, 1 singing west town, 3 around east lake.
Song thrush, 1 Antons east end.
Redwing, 1 Antons east end.
Blackbird, 1 Antons east end.
Blackcap, 1 male Antons east end. 
Greenland wheatear, about 5-6 good looking candidates.
Wheatear, 30 plus, several paired up.
Pied wagtail, a pair east and west end.
White wagtail, about a dozen most days, probably a lot more.
Great skua, 1 east on sunday.
Tufted duck, 4 pairs on ligthhouse pond, 2males and female south west lake.

Anton had a few nice shots on the camera, he seemed to have a good winter out there!
All the best,
