8th and 9th January

Didn’t really do very much as it was largely cold and windy but I had good views of the first-winter drake Ring-necked Duck on Pine Lake on the 8^th along with 4 Scaup, 22 Pochard and a darvic ringed Black-headed Gull and then a walk along Morecambe Promenade at high tide on the 9^th produced the surprise find of a smart first-winter male Black Redstart on the rocks by the Sailing Club hut thing.
