Despite the wet and windy morning there was a nice
selection of birds around the A census route as the highlights including a new
huge, white 2nd winter Glaucous
Gull in fields at the back of Nouster, a smart 1st winter male Merlin with a bulging crop at Gretchen
and a good total of 4 Stonechats scattered
– two males and two females.
Other
totals included 16+ Blackbirds, a Fieldfare, a male Pied Wagtail, 2 Woodpigeons,
2 Redwings, 2 Woodcock, 2 Robins, 64+ Skylarks, 3 Linnets, 149 Greylag Geese
and 80 Black-headed Gulls.
The Northern Harrier did a ridiculously close flyby of the Obs at
lunchtime, passing within metres of the bar window!
