5th December

Another lovely, stunning day with hardly a breath of wind and plenty of sunshine, there was even a hint of some late visible migration going on with a flock of 82 Snow Buntings at the north end later seen flying south out at sea with 5 Skylark and a Meadow Pipit also coming in off the sea from the north.   Other birds included 2 Heron, 2 Whooper Swans, 9 Gadwall, 3 Goldeneye, a Hen Harrier, 2 Kestrels, 2 Merlin, 68 Oystercatchers, 120 Purple Sandpipers, a Woodcock at Holland House, 6 Fieldfare, 32 Redwing, 5 Chaffinches and a Common Redpoll.
