23rd to 24th March

Everyone stayed indoors on wet and windy 23rd, but with the sun out and an easterly wind blowing plenty of the island was covered on 24th. There were no spring migrants as such, other than a trickle of Wagtails, Meadow Pipits and Skylarks with just an 1st winter Iceland Gull (not the usual bird) at Bridesness and 2 Woodpigeons the only other sightings of note.
