25th January

A rough day with strong westerly winds and numerous nasty squalls blasting across the island; effort was slightly down but birds seen around the Observatory and during a couple of hours at the north end included the Eurasian White-fronted Goose still, a Shelduck, 4 Pintail, 5 Gadwall, a Hen Harrier, 76 Ringed Plover, a Knot, 49 Dunlin, 2 Fieldfare, 15 Redwing and 91 Snow Buntings in two flocks – although I couldn’t re-find the colour ringed bird.
