As I was saying yesterday, where's them Swallows? None today, first time that's happened this autumn.

Snipe. Sussing their tactics out now. While there are a handful settled on the saltings, arrivals drop and then get caught out on the lower sections, having to fly off (invariably inland) as the tide covers. A bird or two might move south over the Point in the first hour. Of course, these might just be birds moving to day roosts, but the pattern is highly irregular. More probably arrivals, I'd like to think. Especially if you have a wisp of seven go over in line. I'm so easily pleased.

All a pain in the proverbial. Sorry! I'm a luddite/technophobe (still won't even have a mobile phone) so much else is beyond me..
If still doesn't work, pls send me a DM/post to my twitter a/c @dunnokev to let me know- thanks! Kev 18/12/21
