8th Mar

A day of heavy fog and mist resulting in poor visibility with a light wind blowing from the east. Due to this, the morning seawatch was limited but did produce 19 Pintails and a Golden Plover heading east. The bushes were slightly more productive, with seven Chiffchaffs, 14 Goldrests, a Firecrest, 11 Redwings, 11 Blackbirds, a Black Redstart, three Bramblings and a very noteworthy bird these days in the form of a Yellowhammer in the Old Lighthouse garden.
