After a damp start it was a nice and bright middle of the
day with a moderate but increasing southerly breeze bringing rain by the end of
the afternoon; there was little new in the south end of the island as totals
included the Eurasian White-fronted Goose, a Pink-footed
Goose, the drake Green-winged Teal still, 246 Golden Plover,
9 Black-headed Gulls, 244+ Skylarks (with several flocks heading south and a
big flock of 150+ near the school), 3 Chaffinches, 42 Twite, 2 Common Redpolls
and 36 Snow Buntings. The pond in front
of T1 is chock full of mating Common Frogs with a conservative 400 present
including an amazing looking albino individual – never seen the like!
