28th March


A lovely, sunny, calm start to the day however the nets were frozen closed indicating how cold it was – there was nothing to catch anyway!   Four Great-northern Divers and a pair of Goosander were the only birds on the sea but a few Passerines headed north from mid-morning when it had warmed up a bit including a Grey Wagtail, 2 Crossbills, 12+ Chaffinches, a Siskin, 3 Rooks and a couple of Skylarks and Rock Pipits.  
                Birds in the early afternoon before heavy rain moved put an end to the day included a Jack Snipe in Verevågen, a drake Shoveler with 12 Wigeon in Sevika, a Woodcock in Lebeltet, the Black Redstart still, 5 Herons and my first Reed Bunting of the spring.
