Sunday 20th March

A bright sunny start to the day gave way to overcast conditions and light showers from late morning. Bird of the day was a 1st-winter Iceland Gull hanging around off the Fog Station early morning. Other highlights on the seawatch included 65 Shag, 2 Eider, 2 Common Scoter and 9 Wigeon.

On the land the two Richard’s Pipits were still east of North Landing. Thornwick Pools attracted a Jack Snipe, whilst the Bittern also remained. Elsewhere a minimum of four Grey Heron were around the headland, a littoralis Rock Pipit was near Breil Newk and two Lesser Redpoll were noted.
