Saturday 2nd March 2019

With a change in the weather a few bits noted offshore after a belt of drizzle went through with northbound 37 Red-throated Diver, 6 Gannet, 4 Brent, 2 Greylag Geese & Fulmar with southbound 3 Shelduck, Gannet plus a fine drake Goosander late morning. Passerines on the move are limited to a Siskin south and a new adult male Chaffinch which, by its wing length, will originate way to the north-east of here.

First Common Quaker of the spring.

Ringing: 1 Chaffinch.
