Saturday 22nd February 2014

Glorious sunny morning - no good for looking out to sea, however 24 Brent were noted heading north. A Curlew coming out of the estuary then northbound calling evocatively will be heading back to the breeding grounds. 5 Crows & 2 Skylarks went south overhead - not sure where the crows are going but the Skylarks will be making their way back to the continent having come to the UK for the winter. A new british race Song Thrush was the first of the spring migration. The reserve still typically quiet although a couple of pairs of Ringed Plovers have been around in recent weeks checking out that the place is still here. Finally, 4 Snow Bunting still on the back beach this morning.

Ringing: 1 song thrush
