Despite my lack of luck at Red Rocks, seems to have been loads at Dove Point including 6 Storm Petrels. See my website for details:

Sorry Rob - been busy. I did see one Stormy first think - but then work intervened. Bah
A new Butterfly for the garden today. I saw a larger, strong flying paleish butterfly admist my cloud of gatekeepers in the garden. At first I though I'd flushed a faded speckled wood, but landed and proved to a Grayling. Now there are two but I can't get close enough to photograph them! They breed about a mile away and it seems that allowing my garden to revert to being a sand dune is reaping rewards.
Thanks!

Hi Jane,
I counted 10 Graylings on Hilbre on Sunday, the most I've ever seen. Must have been quite an influx to NW Wirral last weekend !

114 Was and Arctic Skua yesterday. About 1000 Dunlin and Ringed Plover on the beach today. Alas no White-rumped Sandpiper. Also forgot to report a Whimbrel last monday and a Sparrowhawk
Back from Holiday and looking forwards to Autumn. Willow Warbler and Goldcrest in the back yesterday and a few Gannets offshore today, but in general a disappointing tide, with just a few Common and Sandwich Terns and no small waders.

any more reports recently
Timmy - it been so poor. There are NO calidrids at all on the beach, very very few seabirs (just one or two Arctic Skuas). There haven't even been many migrant passerines, a couple of Wheatears yesterday, a Willow Warbler today and a fly over Grey Wagtail. A Sparrowhawk on Mon has been the highlight of the worst Sept I can recall.
Two Jays overhead today were new for the year. 115

A few tit flocks went through today - probably 40 Coal Tits in total. Two Chiffchaffs but as yet no Dendroica. I remain hopeful.
Might just get better at sea too

Well this wind is coming from somewhere!
Perhaps Audenshaw might be a better bet!
