High pressure and continued settled conditions led to a quiet sea watch this morning although 12 Whooper Swans did go north late afternoon and a Linnet was seen to come “in off” the sea. Birds of prey were in evidence with a Buzzard over Old Fall and a Peregrine, 2 Merlins and three Short-eared Owls in the Buckton area where there were also 50 Corn Buntings and 40 Yellowhammer.
The northern Treecreeper was seen again in Millenium Wood along with 8 Goldcrests and an additional Goldcrest at Ocean View. Redwings were heard calling overnight as they made their way back to breeding areas on the continent.
