Blustery south-west winds only abated from mid-afternoon, with sunny intervals and occasional showers and temperatures reaching 13 degrees C. Three Sandwich Terns moving north past the Fog Station were the first of the year, while a juvenile Glaucous Gull was on rocks near North Landing. Waterfowl included 59 Wigeon, 70 Teal (split between North Marsh & Thornwick Pools) and two drake Shoveler. A Firecrest in the bay Brambles was the first of spring, while a White Wagtail was on the nearby Golf Course and a Brambling in the village. Visible migration included a gradual build-up of 1000 Starlings during the day and 31 Chaffinch flying south. Better still, 432 Starling and 121 Blackbirds headed out to sea at dusk.
