Offshore heading north 63 Brent, 9 Red-throated Diver, 2 Shelduck plus south bound Black-throated Diver, Great-crested Grebe & Shelduck. New adult male + adult female Blacky's & a new Songie ringed are the first new ones this year indicating the start of spring passage for these species. Lichenised fungi identification is out of my league so don't expect to many of them to be identified by yours truly. Yellow Scales Xanthoria parietina however is doable that is an abundant species that can get to be very old the larger it gets and somehow manages to survive in some of the bleakest areas of Landguard.

Ringing: 2 blackbird, 1 song thrush, 1 greenfinch.
