Unsurprisingly, much like elsewhere in the south, weather was foul today. Strong winds, snow/sleet and ice on the ground. Only a few nets up, prior to the snow, and only one bird ringed.
A few migrants through in the wind, a grounded golden plover and a summer plumaged black throated diver flying north were most notable, though a male brambling calling on the obs grounds was a close third. A lot of gulls present offshore, 450 herring and 150 great black backed the majority, though single figures of common and black headed went through also.
One moth in the trap, not surprisingly, due to the low temperatures, and equally unsurprising, it was a Hebrew Character.
