A lightening-quick look off Maer Rocks this morning produced my first 2 Common Sandpipers of the year, along with c20+ Manx Shearwater in a very distant feeding flock. A lone 'commic' Tern was over towards Langstone and was probably Common Tern.
Yesterday morning there were at least 36 Sandwich Terns off there, along with an adult Mediterranean Gull.
