27th February 2015

A day that featured a light/moderate west-south-west wind, sunshine and temperatures of seven degrees C, after a frosty start. Seawatching was quiet, with four Puffins flying north the highlight.

Four Shelduck and 11 Wigeon were still present, with 12 Snipe at Thornwick Pool. The Red-necked Grebe showed well off South Landing, where there were 16 Lapwing, two Woodcock, a Stonechat and two Coal Tits. Thornwick hosted another Stonechat, whilst there were two more Coal Tits in South Dykes and 95 Linnets represented an increase.
