It was a pretty busy evening down at Black Hole Marsh. Upon my arrival there were 2 moulting adult Curlew Sandpipers instead of the expected 1, then I spotted another 2 birds coming in and they perched up near to Island Hide - juveniles this time. 4 in total - perhaps even more tomorrow?
Half an hour later, Brendan Sheils & Hannah came into the hide and said they'd had 2 Cory's Shearwaters off Seaton Beach! Cory's is a patch mega with no solid records according to Phil Abbott, so this was gripping stuff. I sent a message out to the locals and I gather that Ian Mc connected with a Cory's; hopefully tomorrow will yield some decent birds too... That Black-browed Albatross would be perfect!
