Grim, weather wise, up to 10ish but notable sightings were a female Merlin & another fine adult Little Gull both heading south offshore. It's always good to get a spring Merlin here. Also heading south 7 Pintail, 6 Gannet, 4 Red-throated Diver, 3 Brents, 2 Kitts & Fulmar plus heading north 6 Red-throated Diver & Gannet. Late news for yesterday is the presence of Frog spawn in the Butts pond. If my memory serves me right then this is the first time we have ever seen Frog spawn here in February and, despite the inclement weather at times, it has been a very mild winter.
