13:57 All be it a bit cold, it was nice to get out for a while this morning, after such a miserable day yesterday, and quite productive too. A watch from the shelter saw a fine drake Eider heading north and then a reasonably close Black-throated Diver that flew north then turned back South and if that wasn’t enough a juvenile Shag flew south very close in. Still a few Red-throats offshore (20+) and plenty of Cormorants heading south in big groups, 500 in total. From the pill box there was a Blackwit on the Scrape and a couple of Snipe and 4 Barnacle Geese that flew over our heads and headed north.3 Purple Sands were on the seawall. 2 Pink-feet were still in with Grey-lags.(ML,PL).

At the end of January the number of species recorded at the Haven this year stands at 93.
