Weather: W force 2, then N force 1, misty to start
Good wildfowl sightings today (apart from the Mallards on the island pond); also seen were 4 Pintail (west high over Middle), 2 Wigeon (in the gutter east of Middle), 52 Scoter, 7 Shelduck , and 7 Canada Geese that landed west of Middle and then flew up towards Red Rocks.
The Brent flock included no less than 5 dark-bellied birds.
The drake Eider was off the west side and the Kestrel is still around.
Very little passage as yet but more Meadow Pipits were present and a Chaffinch made it to the island. Best on the sea were 14 Red-throated Divers, 22 Great Crested Grebes and a Razorbill.
Lesser Celandine is now in flower (with Buff- tailed bumble bee in attendance).
