Dull windy start to the year with rain from late morning onwards. 475 Cormorant went out fishing in the half light. A Merlin south just in front of the observatory was unexpected as we only have a handful of mid-winter records. Southbound 26 Brent, 21 Kitts & 2 Golden Plover with northbound 7 Common Scoter plus 5 Red-breasted Merganser went down river outwards.
