A Rock Pipit going south is notable as none are wintering here this winter - in fact for those of you who wander up our estuaries in the winter the cataclysmic decline in the numbers of this species wintering in local saltmarsh's & along sea walls is almost depressing as this is yet another example of a severely declining common species that we, until quite recently, took for granted. Only other things of note on the rough pad for today are 12 Red-throated Divers, 2 Oystercatchers & a Skylark south plus 2 Great-crested Grebes north. 6 Med Gulls in the View Point car park a couple of minutes ago.
