Glorious sunny, mild day for the time of the year. Good chunk of time spent putting up the nets for the season so observations limited to 2 Barnacle Geese south, usual raft of Common Scoter & the Snow Bunts.

Grey Shoulder-knot is not annual here so always good to get one. It emerges in the autumn, hibernates, then comes out again in the spring.
