9th March 2019

A day of moderate/strong west-north-west winds, sunny intervals and showers, with temperatures reaching eight degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, a single dark-bellied Brent Goose flew north, whilst four Eiders sheltered off the Fog Station. Away from the sea, the Barnacle Goose and 22 Wigeon lingered near North Marsh, with 27 Curlews located on the south side. Passerine interest included three Redwings and a Scandinavian Rock Pipit.
