Weather: S force 2 and warm as the sun broke through the cloud.
The warmest day for some time with the southerly wind attracted a few early 'spring migrants'. Two Woodpigeons which are a regular visitor in early spring dropped into the island.
Two Starlings also appeared with one flying south.
In another sign of spring 4 Rock Pipits were displaying on Middle and 17 Meadow Pipits, a Greenfinch and a Pied Wagtail were logged. A pair of Goosander were still with us.
On the sea was a Great Crested Grebe and a Red-breasted Merganser while waders featured 2,000 Dunlin, 250 Knot, 120 Sanderling, 85 Turnstone and 40 Redshank. Just 130 Brent were around this morning. Naturally the mild weather brought out Dafodils and Crocuses.
