21st March


Back to the lovely conditions after yesterday’s blip with bright sunshine throughout but with a very cold NE breeze; the nets were pretty much empty while offshore the only feature was a northward passage of 225 Oystercatchers along with 8 Curlews and 4 Black-headed Gulls with 4 Great-northern Divers on the sea.   A Peregrine came in carrying a Woodcock after a successful hunting foray offshore.
                Despite the nice, sunny weather it was pretty quiet in the greater area with 7+ Pied Wagtails and 2 White Wagtails the only migrants of note with a slight increase to 53 Goldeneye also of note.

Colour ringed Rock Pipit - I couldn't read the letters no matter how much I zoom in but its at least two years old as none were colour ringed last year (assuming its from here of course)
