27th February 2019

Another sunny day, with light winds and temperatures reaching 14 degrees C. Reflective of the settled conditions, the seawatch was quiet, with a Ringed Plover heading south and 316 Kittiwakes off the Fog Station notable. Buckton Pond again played host to the Whooper Swan, single Pink-footed Goose and Barnacle Goose remained near North Marsh and the drake Pochard lingered on Thornwick Pools. Passerine interest included sightings of two Nuthatch and one Siskin.
