South-westerly force 6 - 7 with early morning rain then the occasional shower produced almost nothing offshore with a couple of hours observation giving southbound 4 Gannet & a Great-crested Grebe with northbound single Kittiwake & Red-throated Diver apart from the usual seagulls and only a couple of hundred Cormorant. On site a Fieldfare plus the wintering locals skulking away in areas out of the wind.

Struggle to photograph anything this morning so here's some Jelly Ear Auricularia auricula-judae on the Elder by one of the moth traps, although some of you will know it by a previous name from less politically correct days.

Ringing: 1 Goldfinch, 1 House Sparrow.
