Sunday 5th February 2012

Good dose of snow plus some drifting overnight. Refugees making their way southwards include 32 Skylarks, 16 Mipits, 9 Reed Bunts, single Dunlin & Grey Plover. An additional 5 Mipits on the reserve plus at least 2 Woodcock. Rock Pipit on the point, 2 Sanderling along the riverbank & 4 Meds in the View Point car park. Fortunately only minor damage to the heligoland trap caused by the snow (unlike the last 2 winters when we had major snow damage - this is a different type of snow).
