2nd April

The first swallow flew through today, a goldcrest was at Holland and at least 4 wheatear present. The glaucous gull is still feeding on the dead dolphin in Nouster Bay where there were 10 red-breasted merganser, and 2 chaffinch were seen. Towards the evening curlew started to trickle north with 31 passing through, and the golden plover flock is slowly increasing with 230 today.
