15th January 2015

A day featuring a very strong south-south-west wind, sunny conditions and temperatures of 5 degrees C. Seawatching produced a Great Northern Diver heading south and a second-winter Mediterranean Gull flying north.  The North Marsh area attracted a Pink-footed Goose along with 100 Greylags, 66 Teal, five Wigeon and a Peregrine. Two Mistle Thrushes were located immediately west of South Dykes.

Highlights from Buckton included a Grey Heron, two Peregrines, a Water Rail and two Short-eared Owls.
