Spring Equinox brought the first male Wheatear of the year which is slightly odd as we usually get several days of males before any of the girls show up. Annoying fine drizzle all morning delivered 14 Chiffchaff, Chaffinch, Goldcrest, Rock Pipit and a couple of transient Jackdaw & Robins. Southbound 38 Black-headed Gull, 12 Red-throated Diver, 4 Barnacle Geese, 4 Chaffinch, 2 Gannet, 2 Mipit, 2 Shelduck, Brent, Goldfinch, Little Egret & Rook. Cetti's is still with us & worth a mention is a Porpoise offshore in recent days as everyone enjoys seeing one.

Ringing: 7 Chiffchaff, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Linnet, 1 Wood Pigeon.
