Another day when the temperature didn’t get above freezing, with additional snow showers and a moderate north-west wind. Two Puffins that flew north during a morning seawatch were unseasonal. Single Snipe and Golden Plover over the sea further illustrated the displacement of many species due to the snowfields. A Snipe on South Landing beach was additional evidence of how birds were struggling, where it was joined by another Golden Plover, two Sanderling, the long-staying Bar-tailed Godwit and 21 Ringed Plovers; a Red-breasted Merganser lingered offshore. Other records from the outer head included two Woodcock, a garden-feeding Water Rail, two Redwing and a Fieldfare.
