21st Feb

A day of increasing south-westerly winds bringing mist and rain by the early afternoon. The morning observations didn't reveal much other than 135 Brent Geese passing east offshore and a single Firecrest in the Trapping Area. The first notable nocturnal passage of Redwings occurred this evening. 

Elsewhere, 15 Cattle Egrets and two Whooper Swans were at Cockles Bridge, Scotney still held the family of three Whooper Swans as well as three Barnacle Geese and a Dartford Warbler. Over on outskirts of Lydd at Dennes Lane there was two Eurasian White-fronted Geese amongst the large flock of Greylags and on Walland Marsh at least 13 Bewick's Swans were still present.
