Strengthening winds overnight continued throughout the whole of the day today, along with heavy rain from dawn and lighter rain showers well into lunchtime.

Hopes for a few migrants didn't reveal any but sea watching was the order of the day with 227 Brent Geese heading North just after dawn and a few stragglers heading South. Just 1 Red-throated Diver today, along with 1 Golden Plover and 2 Fulmar; battling the strong winds and driving rain.

Singles of Grey Wagtail and Goldcrest were seen albeit briefly but apart from that, a rather wintry feel to the day.

Several Black-headed Gulls are still scrounging around the car parks including this 1st-winter with juvenile birds having been in short supply all winter.

Ringing: 3 birds ringed today - 2 Blackbird and 1 Goldfinch.
