Chilly, bright n' breezy morning with a slight frost brought a small handful of migrants & some refugees from snow cover inland. 423 Cormorant headed out fishing pre dawn plus 22 more in from the north later on. On site a handful of new Blackies, 9 Lapwing, 2 Fieldfare, 2 Skylark, 2 Song Thrush & Woodcock. Southbound 83 Teal, 40 Common Scoter, 11 Knot, 7 Black-headed Gull, 4 Goosander, 3 Brent, 3 Red-throated Diver, 3 Snipe, 2 Shelduck, Goldeneye & Ringed Plover plus northbound 27 Common Scoter. 4 Kitts are, hopefully, a sign of wintering birds starting to appear offshore. Finally a Purp on the point.
Ringing: 4 Blackbird.
