Yet another bleak and foggy day today, with fewer birds around on-site than yesterday. Thick cloud and overnight fog grounded 14 Redwing, 1 Fieldfare and 40 Starling. Other birds of note came in the form of 3 Goldcrest, 20 Dunnock, 20 Blackbird, 1 Firecrest, 22 Linnet, 6 Song Thrush, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Snipe and 1 Yellow-legged and 1 Caspian Gull, picked out by a few lucky observers.
Just 3 out of the 5 Black Redstarts were still around this morning, favouring the area near the cottage.
Offshore was a little quiet but 1 Oystercatcher, 7 Brent Goose, 4 Ringed Plover, 2 Turnstone, 1 Mute Swan with 1 Female Common Scoter and 1 Grey Plover lingered.
Ringing: 2 Dunnock, 1 Redwing, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Wren and 1 Collared Dove.
