A relatively overcast day, with moderate south-west winds and high of 12 degrees C. Seawatch records included five Shelduck, a Gadwall, two Eider, 98 Cormorants, 414 Herring Gulls south and, unusually, a Mistle Thrush in off the sea.
The Crane remained in residence adjacent to North Marsh, as were the 80-strong flock of White-fronted Geese that again roosted on the outer head. Thornwick Pools attracted eight Gadwall and a pair of Shoveler. A single Chiffchaff in South Dykes was further evidence of ‘spring’. Elsewhere, a Raven flew south-east at Buckton.
