10th January 2016

Another day of strong south-south-westerly winds and generally overcast conditions, with rain first thing. Seawatching highlights included 46 Red-throated Divers, one Great Northern Diver and two Blue Fulmars flying south; better still, a Grey Phalarope flew north mid-morning.

At least one White-fronted Goose and a Pink-footed Goose accompanied the Greylags at North Marsh, where a female Stonechat lingered. Four Little Gulls and two Woodcock were at South Dykes.

West of the Dykes, the three White-fronted Geese remained on fields immediately west of Buckton Hall.
