14th April 2019

A day of moderate/strong east-north-east winds, sunny intervals and light showers, with temperatures eventually rising to eight degrees C. The morning’s seawatch was relatively quiet, with three Sandwich Terns flying north the most notable record.

North Marsh hosted the year’s first Shoveler, with single Little Ringed Plover and Whimbrel also recorded on the outer head. Passerine interest included four Hooded Crows together at North Marsh, 17 Chiffchaffs, six Goldcrest, seven Blackcap and three Redwing.
