3 Snow Bunts still attracting visiting toggers with this one probably drying out after yesterday.
Flat calm morning. 3 Skylark on the reserve that headed north are either birds relocating after recent cold weather, flooded out inland in yesterdays deluge or the start of spring passage as the males in this species are keen to get back to their breeding grounds at the mere hint of longer days. Apart from this fairly predictable with 702 Cormorant going out fishing, 70 Common Gull, 57 Red-throated Diver relocating south following yesterdays gale, 50 Common Scoter, 5 Sanderling, 2 Egyptian Geese flying north, 2 Turnstone, Peregrine, Woodcock & only the second sighting of Collared Dove this year.
