Ness Point wander

In the early afternoon of Sunday 9th February, I drove down to Ness Point, there were 16 Turnstones feeding on the finger promentary. I walked 500 metres further north along the seawall, to the sea ledge just opposite the south end of the Ting Dene static caravan park, on the seaweed encrusted ledge by the sea, I first saw 2 Oystercatchers and a Rock Pipit which stood facing the sea, momentarily frozen, before it suddenly walked back actively feeding before flying into a hole half way up and along the seawall. Slightly further back, were 4 then 5 Purple Sandpipers, actively feeding their number totalling 9 birds. Walking back, I saw the resident male Kestrel flying back from the seawall towards the Netposts. There was nothing in Hamilton Dock and no sign either of the BRs, despite checking their regular haunts.
