15th January 2016

A cold, but bright day, with a light/moderate west-north-westerly airflow. Two Great Northern Divers, 99 Oystercatchers and a Little Auk were recorded at South Landing, with single Woodcock at Old Fall and South Landing. A Common Buzzard frequented Micklemires, with two Redwing and a Lesser Redpoll at North Landing.

However, the day’s highlight was the discovery that three Richard’s Pipits were now in residence in cliff top fields east of North Landing; viewed from the cliff top path.
