First island record! First observed around 17:20 at base of murre blind hill. Initially saw a starling sized bird with thrush like behavior, sapphire blue upper parts, head and breast, with clean divide to rufous underparts including under-tail coverts. Interesting interruption of blue around thighs. Flight feathers including primaries, secondaries and lower half of rectrices a near jet black. Greyish-black and strong looking legs. Long blackish bill and black in lores. Seemed quite at home hopping about rocky cliffs, consistently pumping and flaring its tail. Observed on and off for over two hours (until sunset) by myself and entire seabird crew. Bird continued in same location for 3 of the next 4 days, not seen after that.

Ploughed sand on the edge of the estuary

Large stretches of the intertidal sand along the margins of the estuary disturbed when exposed during low tide. On very close observation showed the digging was being done by a multitude of tiny (4 to 5 mm long) sand coloured crickets. They were very skittish and jumped as soon as disturbed.
