16th March

Not a bad day really with the chilly easterly wind picking up in the afternoon; the ringing only produced one bird – a smart young female Sparrowhawk.  Most of the other birds of note were on the sea with the White-billed Diver again close in but this time there were also at least 5 Great-northern Divers as well along with a Red-necked Grebe, a Razorbill, a Tystie, two Curlews heading north, a Red-breasted Merganser and a few Long-tailed Ducks and Common Scoter.   The Slavonian Grebe was still in Verevågen and a couple of Peregrines were cruising around.

Plenty of Skylarks were displaying and chasing each other

Ending up in this fight - it would have been an ace picture if it had been in focus but I suppose you could say that about any photo!
