Hint of spring!

5th February 2011 – rain SW1/2
Offshore
A check over the sea through the rain and gloom produced just small numbers of Red-throated Diver and Common Scoter.
Diurnal Migration
A group of 3 Siskin were perhaps the first hint that spring is not too far away,
Wildfowl and Waders
The Brent Goose flock held 125 pale-bellied birds.
Miscellaneous
A total of 50 Twite, 2 Little Egret and single Merlin and Little Owl were the best of the rest.
