Poor today compared with yesterday with next to nothing moving offshore & only a handful of new birds in the bushes and almost nothing migrating overhead. A couple of feathers found in a mist net early on suggest a Long-eared Owl is here somewhere but we have failed to find it. A Water Rail is in the compound, a Black Red was on the Fort & one of the Firecrests and Brambling from recent days is still with us. On the beach 3 Sanderling as well as the wintering Turnstones. A Red-throated Diver appears to have set up residence in the river in recent days. On shore breezes suggests that we are still in with a chance of some birds this week.
