22nd Feb

A quiet day with constant fog and drizzle with moderate winds from the south-west. Sea passage was fairly quiet with eight Brent Geese, two Wigeon, a Lapwing and seven Fulmars being the highlights. On the land there was only two Song Thrushes, a Chiffchaff, six Goldcrests and a Firecrest of any notes. 

Elsewhere, the 17 Cattle Egrets and two Whooper Swans still frequented Cockles Bridge, while the family of Whooper Swans were still near the sand-pit at Scotney but the Bewick's Swan flock on Walland Marsh is still reduced to just 11 birds.
