Gale force winds continued throughout the night and didn't let up all day, again very few birds around and any that were on-site were well and truly hidden away.

Sea watching was the order of the day, albeit a little quiet. 22 Brent Geese, 4 Shelduck, 1 Common Scoter, 1 Grey Plover, along with 1 Dunlin and 1 Curlew were recorded.

A few corvids heading down the point this morning with 3 each of Rook and Jackdaw.

Best of the rest came in the form of a 2 Egyptian Geese (1 bird of mixed origins) - which is the 7th record for the Observatory.

Our first Sand Martin of the year was seen by Chris in the early afternoon, battling hard into the head wind and over the point and into Essex.

Ringing: 3 birds - 2 Woodpigeon and 1 Chaffinch.
