Relatively light westerly winds, generally overcast skies with light rain and temperatures reaching six degrees C. Nine Shelduck and a drake Red-breasted Merganser represented the highlights of the morning’s seawatch. Two Woodcock, a Short-eared Owl and at least four Lapland Buntings were located near North Dykes. The two male Blackcaps continued to attend village feeders, whilst 119 Lapland Buntings remained at Buckton.
