After yesterdays deluge things are starting to dry out a bit. Highlights this morning were 2 Velvet Scoter north, 4 Barnacle Geese south plus a Short-eared Owl on the reserve. Also on the move 8 Red-throated Divers, 2 Gannets, 2 Shelduck, 2 Oyks & a Fulmar. For those of you who enjoy ploughing through large numbers of seagulls about a thousand (mostly immatures) are feeding behind the shipping going in & out of the harbour at the moment. Passerine movement almost non-existent with a single Redwing on site plus the first migrant Blue Tit of the spring.
