Weather: ESE force 2/3 misty, slight drizzle in the air
Another Woodcock on the island this morning, this time flushed from the west side.
It was not seen again but could have still been here as there are lots of places for it to go to ground as Woodcocks are seldom found it they are not in flight.
Record numbers of Dark-bellied Brent this morning, 8 birds,
Overall there was a total of 446.
A round-up of the rest of the wildfowl featured 4 Scoter on the sea, 20 Shelduck, 3 Eider and a Wigeon with 2 Teal on the shore.
A flock of 50 Starlings flew south, and the thrushes did not disappoint, there were a few extra Blackbirds,
and a Fieldfare flew south after the morning started with the usual Redwings (5) passing through.
Out to sea was a Guillemot and Gannets were feeding again today (55)
There were just 2 Purple Sandpipers seen this morning but more will be around the islands somewhere.
Ringed: 1 Redwing, 3 Blackbirds, 1 Wren.
