To start the day off, just to mention that Christopher Bridge, our new Warden for the 2015 season has now arrived on-site with us and will be here until mid November.
The bleak conditions continued throughout the day, further haltering spring migration. The best of the rest on-site came in the form of 1 male Black Redstart and 1 female Stonechat, along with 6 Song Thrush, 1 Rock Pipit and 1 Long-tailed Tit, signs that spring is slowly making an appearance.
Our resident Little Owl put in an appearance early on, as did a brief Firecrest.
Offshore, sea watching produced 8 Red-throated Divers, 4 Gannet, 1 Great Crested Grebe, 1 Drake Shoveler and 1 Yellow-legged Gull.
Ringing: 2 Song Thrush, 1 Long-tailed Tit and 1 Robin.
