Fresh dusting of snow overnight & still bitterly cold first thing. It's getting milder now with rain and drizzle plus very poor visibility as a thaw sets in. A brief walk round produced 5 Golden Plover, 4 Snow Buntings, Sanderling, Grey Plover & Rock Pipit but as it's all a bit unpleasant (weather wise) i am going to abandon ship. Worth a mention is that when leaving the site yesterday, just north of the Customs House, a Water Rail crossed View Point Road in front of the car & was fortunate not to get splattered by a vehicle coming in the opposite direction.
