Friday 18th March 2011

The morning was mostly very damp and wet with on and off showers. Highlights today included a Peregrine seen flying overhead towards the Felixstowe docks; also of note were 24 Brent Geese migrating north, a Red-throated Diver also heading north and 1 Rock Pipit seen on the jetty. The ringed male Firecrest that overwintered here at the observatory was retrapped and still in good condition. 10 birds were ringed today, 5 Blackbird, 3 Chaffinch, 1 Robin and 1 Starling. Also of interest was a Common Seal offshore.
