There were 7 Purple Sandpipers on the wall at castle point today at 16:30, high up closer the pavement than the sea! i have attached a couple of photos taken in the fading light. there were also 10 ringed plover and 8 turnstone in the area. in the harbour was a redshank, 3 cormorants and at least 8 Mute Swans. Didnt manage to see the dipper though and there was no sign of the black redstart on old college although it may have roosted by the time i was there.....
