A bit breezier but still
OK really with a decent selection of birds around the Obs census route with the
highlights being a Yellow Wagtail north over the Obs (a flava ssp. really but it just sounded
like a normal Yellow Wagtail) and the returning drake Green-winged Teal on Gretchen – its probably
been present for a few weeks but is only just moulting into its male plumage
allowing us to tell what it is! Other
birds included a female Sparrowhawk in Holland, a Merlin, a Kestrel, 6
Pink-footed Geese, 450+ Golden Plover, 22 Chaffinches, 24 Brambling, 12 Twite
and the lingering Willow Warbler round the Obs but generally fewer Thrushes,
Robins etc. around. The four Yellowhammers
were still in Kirbest.
A little seawatch in the afternoon was then quiet
with just a Bonxie and 9 Puffins in amongst 105 Auk sp. of note.
