Not a lot of turnover of birds today from yesterday. The Short-toed Treecreeper is still here currently on the ridge north of the bird observatory compound (Left Battery or "Icky" ridge - so named as the 1st ever Icterine Warbler seen donkeys years ago was here). 2 Wheatears & Black Red still present as are most of yesterdays small "fall" of Goldcrests. New in today are singles of Great Tit, Goldcrest and a female Blacky weighing only 72g - this is very thin for a Blacky and one can only presume the poor girl has been using up fuel flying around the North Sea looking for land. Collared Doves have hatched so lets hope mum sits tight on them to keep them warm in this cold wind.
