Friday 29th March 2013

Despite a light dusting of snow overnight, it turned into a slightly warmer day. Seawatching was productive with 171 Red-throated Divers, 4 Gannets and 3 Black-throated Divers ( probably the best day for this species for many a year ) all heading north. A Red Kite headed south over the docks late morning spooking all the gulls in the area, this was only the 8th site record, five of which have been in March. On the non-avian front ca40 Frogs along with spawn were found in Butts Pond, could this be spring here at last?
