3rd March

A lovely sunny day today which sadly did nothing for the birding. Very little going past at sea but still good numbers of Cormorant and Great Crested Grebe offshore.

On the RSPB Reserve a single Jack Snipe was noteworthy. 2 Great White Egret, 2 Long-eared Owl, 2 Black-necked Grebe and plenty of Smew still dotted around.
