15th April


A calm morning but unfortunately it rained all the way through to just after lunch so the only birds included a Tystie and a Goosander offshore, the drake Garganey still and a Great-northern Diver.   The sun came out early afternoon but as soon as it did the wind rapidly picked up to a force 7 north-westerly but birds around the coast included the first 3 Ring Ouzels of the year out on Skarvodden, an increase to 34+ White Wagtails, 12 Wheatears, a Swallow, a Peregrine and an increased 38 Shelduck while there was a group of 4 Twite on a recently ploughed field on Gunnarsmyra.
                In the evening sun there were another two Swallows and a female Marsh Harrier out across the fields.
