25th April 2018

A day of moderate south-westerly winds and sunny intervals, with temperatures in the low teens. Sixteen Common Scoter, a Manx Shearwater and five Sandwich Terns flew south, whilst four Whimbrel moved north. 

Two Pink-footed Geese and the Greenshank remained, the latter on Stainforth’s Flash, whilst a Short-eared Owl overflew the Lighthouse mid-morning. A Hooded Crow frequented the Cattlemere area, four White Wagtails were also present and a Grasshopper Warbler was discovered at South Dykes.
