2nd December 2015

Another day of moderate south-westerly winds and sunny intervals before an overcast afternoon. During the seawatch, single Great Crested Grebe and Bonxie flew north. Wildfowl included 53 Teal and a Wigeon on North Marsh and the drake Pintail on Thornwick Pools. Thornwick also hosted 19 Snipe and eight Jack Snipe, whilst a Woodcock frequented South Landing. The day’s highlight was a Richard’s Pipit that was discovered in the Sheep Field east of North Landing that appeared to depart towards the Lighthouse; four Stonechats were also present on the Headland.
