Highlights from a day out at Cupsogue with Tom Burke and Gail Benson included:
Seawatch AM: 1 distant Sooty Shearwater and a pod of about 9 Dolphins (probably Bottlenose). The conditions for seawatching, were just not right with STRONG north west winds. Flats: 1st Summer Arctic Tern, nicely picked out by Tom before we even crossed the channels. Unfortunately, we never saw it again during our duration on the flats. 2 Roseate Terns, down from the 4 seen last weekend. Also of note were two banded Piping Plovers. One band with the letters, "MOO."
