Dave Miller, coastal ranger, has organised monitoring at Skegness Pier and Anderby Creek as part of the National Whale & Dolphin weekend 28/29th July I watched from 1010 to 1440hrs with Helen Craven, marine officer at the Trust and then Dave Miller and Cheryl Leaning in the afternoon, the latter 2 people continuing until 1600hrs. Dave did a TV interview at Skegness Pier in the morning and will be able to provide further details of the same as required I had a brief view of porpoise moving north beyond the outfall and there was a common seal which stayed in the area, otherwise it was all bird movement in the 31/2hrs I recorded: Swallow 30+ >S in first half hour Swift 28 >S.........mainly quite a way out Marsh Harrier 1 >S......... low over sea before spiralling up very high and drifting on south Knot 141 >S......... in small groups up 48 Curlew 65 >S ........ in 3 groups.
