A dramatic change in the weather produced a flat calm,
cloudy morning so we were up at Holland with the nets first thing where we
caught 2 more Snipe, a Woodpigeon, a Blackbird and a couple of Wrens.
I
then walked the west coast census route where the highlights were the drake Green-winged Teal which reappeared on
Gretchen to display to some Teal – absent since 24th February (presumably the same bird!),
the Northern
Harrier which did a couple of distant
fly-bys and the big, pale 2nd winter Glaucous Gull. Other birds
included a Snow Bunting on Torness, 6 Red-throated Divers, a Fieldfare, a Pied
Wagtail, 65+ Skylarks in the stubble field at Nether Linney and a female Stonechat
by Trebb.
There
was a Stock Dove at the bottom of
the Obs track in the afternoon – a very scarce, not annual vagrant on here!
