25th February 2014

Weather:- SSE force 4, then SW 5/6, rain later
A good late winter/early spring day of 40 species, highlight being the arrival of a pair of Stonechats after the wind veered to the south west. Other migrants included 48 Woodpigeons flying over the east hoyle, a Lapwing, and 2 Starlings. On the sea were counted 45 Great Crested Grebes, a Razorbill and 6 Common Scoters close in to the east side. The first Lesser Celandine and Purple Crocii were in flower.
