Another bitterly cold day. Highlights today included another sighting of the Rabbit.
Wader numbers were again good with 31 Grey Plover, 500 Sanderling and 14 Purple Sandpipers being recorded. Knot numbers were in excess of 7,000 and 115 Bar-tailed Godwits were also counted. Great Crested Grebe numbers increased to 20 and two male and two female Wigeon were also logged.
Song Thrush numbers had increased to three and raptors were represented by a Merlin and a Common Buzzard being mobbed by crows over the East Hoyle bank; a good record for the island at any time of year but particularly so in winter.
