After a teasing couple of days with a few spring migrants, the weather unfortunately returned to the norm of westerly winds and varying amounts of rain, the only new occurrence was the discovery of a dead
Long-eared Owl in Holland Gardens whilst a single
Bean Goose,
Canada Goose and up to
4 Pink-footed Geese remain. On a much more exciting note we've seen a continued increase in display activity from the many breeding
Lapwings and
Oystercatchers,
Black-headed Gull numbers are rising daily at their breeding sites as ever growing numbers of
Fulmars are prospecting along the outer dyke and
Black Guillemots ashore on the bolder beach at Gretchen for the first time this year.
