Strong westerly winds again but it was OK I guess between
the wintery showers, it was just that the showers came very frequently! The highlight was re-finding the dark
juvenile Kumlien’s
Gull which showed better on the grass around the Lighthouse; other
birds included a juvenile Iceland Gull which flew past Brides and
a distinctive adult female Hen Harrier with a very hooded appearance also at
Brides where there were also 4 Meadow Pipits, 6 Fieldfares, 16 Redwings, a
Chaffinch and 2 Snow Buntings.
Also
of note was a Woodcock at Hooking and wildfowl totals of 525 Wigeon, 23
Gadwall, 23 Tufted Duck, 10 Long-tailed Ducks and 4 Goldeneye.
