Wed 8th Mar 23

A cold and wet morning didn't hold much promise, so when I met Richard on his way back from the hide and a single Avocet was his bird of the day we decided to have half an hour looking out to sea. Things started well with a single Com. Scoter heading north (a year tick for us both) but the next 30 mins added just 2 R T Diver and a Cormorant north and 4 more Com. Scoter south before we succumbed to the cold.

Things were a bit better for Steve Grimwade in the afternoon with Sanderling taking the site Year List to 99, what will no.100 be?

Reports from today:
