A gorgeous day calm and sunny with a bit of a frost first thing but the
nets and the skies were a bit disappointingly quiet; we managed 40 new birds
through the morning which did include a few nice bits with a Firecrest, 2 Northern Bullfinches and 13 Long-tailed Tits – 9 of which were
the lovely white-headed Northern birds.
The sky was very quiet with just a handful of Chaffinches, Bramblings,
Greenfinches and Siskins, a couple of Jackdaw flocks which came in off and the
odd Yellowhammer, Redpoll and Reed Bunting.
A walk up the coast in
the afternoon was also quiet with just a Ring
Ouzel in a hedge at Birkemose, 3 White Wagtails on the beach and 9 Little Gulls offshore of note.
A selection of Long-tailed Tits caught today included some pure white-headed ones, some intergrades and a couple more resembling europaeus birds
