The day started bright and breezy with clear blue skies as I headed towards Soldiers Point in Dundalk. It's only a few miles further north of Seabank and Anagassan but a good spot that enables you to get great views of the mudflats when the tide is coming and going.
I arrived in the bright sunshine but that didn't last very long. The sky darkened and a torrential downpour fell for a good 20 minutes. This sunshine to downpour pattern persisted for the 3 hours I roughly spent on site.
A pretty mixed bag in and around the estuary, I would have liked to get the Forsters tern that's been spotted regularly enough at the Point for the last few weeks but it wasn't to be. The wait goes on for my first east coast Forsters.
