Another blustery cold day with a bitter north east wind.
There were a few migrants around with a Blackcap belting out its song at first light and a female present in the bushes. The Redwing was still present on the Reserve. New in were a Whitethroat and a Willow Warbler both of which were doing their best to avoid the wind. At least 7 Wheatears were also present around the Warren.
On the sea a Whimbrel, 12 Gannet, 11 Common Terns, 7 Bar-tailed Godwit, 4 Fulmar, 2 Red-throated Diver and a Sandwich Tern headed north and a Brent Goose headed south. A Porpoise was feeding in the River mouth and 2 Common Seals were also seen offshore.
Ringing: 1 Blackcap, 1 House Sparrow
