18th March


It was a brilliant, pretty much flat calm morning which produced a few birds in the nets including another young female Sparrowhawk, the first Chiffchaff of the year and a Song Thrush; there was very little over the sea but the still water allowed 2 Great-northern Divers, 2 Red-throated Divers and 39+ Long-tailed Ducks to be counted while 2 Whooper Swans (an adult and an immature) flew south inland, the regular pair of Cranes were feeding in the fields and at least two Pied Wagtails were on the rocks.
                Despite the continuing good conditions through the day a Grey Wagtail and another Pied Wagtail in Sevika were the only other birds of note.

Goldcrest out on the point - probably a migrant
