A new juv female Sparrowhawk was trapped in the helli first thing is only the second new female caught all autumn. When the rain eased off starring out to sea for 40 mins produced 6 Gadwal, 3 Mallard, 3 Brents, 3 Common Scoter, 3 Teal, 2 Pintail, 2 Red-throated Diver & a Wigeon south. A new Chaffinch also trapped this morning & 3 Fieldfare flew over. An attempt to get on with some on site maintenance has been aborted due to a deluge of snow & sleet with the only sensible thing to do being an early blog today & abandon ship !
