| 6th |
|
Surprisingly
quiet given the current cold weather with just two
Woodcocks in the trapping area and seven Pochard
and three Grey Plover flying south
offshore. The Glaucous Gull was still at
the fishing boats.
|
| 5th |
|
Heavy
snow throughout the night and freezing
temperatures all day produced a small cold-weather
movement with a Grey Heron, three Snipe,
two Woodcock and five Song Thrushes
of interest. A Chiffchaff was seen at the
north end of the Long Pits and a Firecrest
was seen in the trapping area. A brief look at the
sea in the morning produced very little.
|
| 4th |
|
Not
a great deal to report. A few Wigeon flew
west and large numbers of auks were
offshore again. An adult Mediterranean Gull
flew east and the Glaucous Gull
was seen again.
|
| 3rd |
|
A
nice but very cold day but fairly quiet for birds.
Around 400 Red-throated Divers flew east
during the morning and the Glaucous Gull
was still present. A Firecrest was seen in
the trapping area and a Raven was heard.
|
| 2nd |
|
Another
very cold day with a near-gale north-easterly wind
for much of the day. A Great Skua flew by
and plenty of Great Crested Grebes and auks
offshore and the Glaucous Gull was still
present.
|
| 1st |
|
Another
very cold day but clear and with no snow and just
a trickle of birds moving through offshore. A few ducks were seen including
85 Wigeon, 35 Teal, five Pintail and a Pochard. Good
numbers of both Guillemot and Razorbill
were feeding offshore again and an adult Mediterranean
Gull was also seen. The Glaucous Gull
was seen again.
