Nope I was wrong, winter is still here! The day started of with light snow and soon becoming a blizzard up until 0915 when snow stopped and the sun came out. A Woodcock flushed at dawn was a nice surprise as was a Yellowhammer that called a couple of times. An eared owl was seen briefly but could not be relocated. Movement offshore was quieter than yesterday with only one Great Crested Grebe and 31 Red-throated Divers heading south along with 18 of the latter species also heading north. The number of moths caught this year doubled with three Hebrew Charcters being found in the traps this morning.
