7th January 2020

An overcast day, with spells of relatively light rain during the morning and a strong south-westerly wind; temperatures peaked at 12 degrees C. Single Great Northern Diver and Bonxie flew south during the morning seawatch. The Whooper Swan was still present, along with three Pink-footed Geese and the Russian White-fronted Goose. Although the favoured stubble field near North Marsh has now been ploughed, it still contained at least 42 Lapland Buntings and 20 Snow Buntings; 22 Snow Buntings were also present at Cattlemere.
