Probably one of the most important to know about. Notice last night:

Sunken Buxey Lighted Buoy

Mariners are advised that the Sunken Buxey Lighted Buoy:

51° 39.595N 001° 00.765E

is off station.

Swallowtail No 4 Lighted Buoy

Mariners are advised that Swallowtail No 4 is temporarily off station and that all the buoys in the Swallowtail Channel are being serviced this week.
A NTM will follow shortly with updated position of Swallowtail No 1 and changes to light characteristics within the Swallowtail Channel as soon as work is completed, which is expected to be by Friday 04th June 2021.
Care should be taken by navigators whilst using the Swallowtail Channel until this work is finished.

I confirm that Sunken Buxey buoy is in place but has no name on, so my system of 'read the label" doesn't work.
Also, for ornithologists, I saw a gannet fishing there. Never seen one hereabouts before.
