Sat 12th Mar 22

Bird of the day was a cracking Black Redstart found by Pete Davis in the farm paddocks. Although in the morning the Chaffinch flock at the farm was much smaller than of late with just one Brambling seen, in the afternoon Richard Jeffree managed to find 3 males.

A second Black Redstart (fem) was reported late afternoon at the Frinton end of the golf course.

A quick look over the scrape from the pillbox showed 25 Avocet, 8 BlkWits, 18 Curlew, plus all the usual stuff and 2 Purple Sands were on the sluice rocks.

First Adder and Slow Worm for me this year this morning (see Haven Wildlife page) MR
