Glorious sunrise on a frosty morning with the biting wind abating to a more amiable strength.
1,318 Cormorant went out fishing. A Redpoll flying around in the half light is our first January record since one noted on three dates in January 1987 back in the day - makes one wonder what flavour of Redpoll it is? About 1,000 Starling at the north end of the Butts early morning plus again late in the day suggests that someone or something has had an attack on where this crew were roosting forcing them to find an alternative roost site at short notice.
Ringing: 1 Blackbird
