Another dreich day. 336 Cormorant went out fishing as it was barely getting visible. Southbound 32 Wigeon with northbound single Common Scoter, Gannet & Red-throated Diver. 4 Turnstone & 2 Sanderling on the back beach & usual Common Scoter flock offshore. New young male Blackbird caught was a real porker probably wandering in search of a vacant territory. A new adult Robin was more unusual at this time of the year & roughly a month early for the start of spring migration in this species.

Ringing: 1 Blackbird, 1 Robin.
