Last century winter records of Linnet were very unusual but nowadays a walk around the site it is not difficult to come across a small group.
Another dull murky morning but with a bit more of interest compared with recent days with 4 Redwing, 3 Ringos on the beach, Skylark that flew inland, Little Egret along the riverbank, female Eider on the river & Great-spotted Woodpecker in the observatory compound. Song Thrush singing on the Butts also worth a mention. Offshore movements southbound 2 Red-throated Diver & Shelduck with northbound 2 Common Scoter & 2 Red-throats.
