LANDGUARD - 4th March

 Nice and calm again but finally with the light wind switching round into the north the fog had largely disappeared letting us see the sea properly for the first time since I arrived; this produced most of the day’s highlights through the morning including a Bonxie north at 10:30, 44 Gannets, a Fulmar, 2 Common Scoter, 8 Brent Geese, 3 Shelduck, 67 Red-throated Divers, 4 Great-crested Grebes, 440+ Cormorants and a random Carrion Crow which came straight in from very far out (it possibly was messing around on a ship before realizing he was out at sea and had to come back in!).   

There wasn’t very much on the land with a Woodcock the highlight along with a Chiffchaff, 3 Chaffinches, a Goldfinch and a Skylark of note.
