It was a bright start with overcast skies by the afternoon; moderate south-westerly winds and temperatures that reached seven degrees C. The morning’s seawatch featured a southbound Great Northern Diver accompanied by six Tufted Ducks and three Shelduck; six Bottlenose Dolphins also moved south. With the headland’s freshwater bodies increasingly charged, numbers of ducks continue to increase; 257 Teal represented an all-time January maximum, while 47 Wigeon were also in residence. Also present were the two Whooper Swans, three Barnacle Geese, Little Grebe and five Mute Swans, while a party of four Grey Herons was another January maximum. Other notable counts included a Woodcock and 51 Yellowhammers.
