31st March


The predicted all-day rain didn’t materialise and it was a pleasant, if cloudy day; birds offshore included another trickle of northbound Common Gulls, 2 Red-necked Grebes south, 40 Wigeon south and the reappearing White-billed Diver sat on the sea while 6 Kittiwakes and a Fulmar heading north may have been moving ahead of tomorrow’s forecasted gale force winds.   A single Chiffchaff was the only bird caught through the morning.
                There were a few random things around the area in the afternoon including a Jack Snipe, a Stock Dove, a Kestrel, two young White-tailed Eagles out on Steinodden, a Great-spotted Woodpecker, a Rook and at least 75 Fieldfares at Groda.
