Good to have a couple of first-winter Black-headed Gulls at the View Point over recent days as very few around this winter. The highlight was the return of the Cetti's Warbler by the Butts pond as haven't recorded one since mid-February although difficult to know whether it is the same individual. Very little rewards on a windy morning included 9 Chaffinch heading south plus 3 Redwing, 3 Skylark, 2 Mipit & a Chiffchaff on site. Offshore 60 Common Scoter but next to nothing moving.

Our earliest ever Eudonia angustea by quite some margin, although just read up that they do hibernate so this one has been lured out by the mild conditions.

Ringing: 1 Chiffchaff.
