17th Feb

A sunny, mild day gave a spring like feel to the air. A good check of the bushes didn't provide too much just a Woodcock, a Snipe, two Jackdaws, a Chiffchaff, six Goldcrests, a Redwing, two Song Thrushes and six Stonechats. The sea was very quiet, just six Brent Goose flew past were the only birds of note. A single Mediterranean Gull offshore came close enough to read its Polish ring. 

The Hares have started to chase each other about today.
