A quiet start with only Wheatears noted around the south side of the island perked up when I reached Porth Hellick. From the lovely new Stephen Sussex hide I had a female Merlin fly one way then the other a Jack Snipe was flying around then vanished but after 2 hours the hoped for bird hadn’t appeared so I left and started on the loop trail. After a few steps a shadow appeared in front of me and as I looked up the hoped for adult Purple Heron flew low over my head and landed in the reeds and vanished. It’d been accidentally flushed by a couple walking the other way around the trail.
