An insane day with hardly
a breath of wind, not a cloud in the sky and flat, mirror calm seas; nets at Holland
first thing were predictably quiet with birds in the vicinity including a
Willow Warbler, a flyover Goldfinch, 2 Common Redpolls and 4 Rooks which went
north. The northern census route was
also quiet with 14 Great-northern Divers offshore, a Whimbrel, 3 Carrion Crows
in off the sea from the north and a group pf 5 Barnacle Geese by the lighthouse
while a single Chiffchaff was the only migrant Passerine.
A walk round the coast by the Obs late afternoon
produced another 14 Great-northern Divers, the Black-throated Diver again in Nouster and 7
Long-tailed Ducks still with 7 Black-tailed Godwits and an Arctic Tern at
Gretchen.
