March 23rd 2009

The conditions this afternoon were extreme to say the least with strong north westerly’s gusting to nearly 40mph with rain showers which were probably responsible for bringing in the adult Kittiwake and first summer Med Gull. At least 30 Sand Martin, female Wheatear and 3 Great-northern Divers but still no sign of Red-necked Grebe. Late Redwing and Lesser Redpoll in toft bay and 3 Chiffchaff seen. One medium sized unidentified wader flew over.
