After yesterdays wash out this mornings blue skies were welcome. Unfortunately the cold NW wind brought nothing on the sea nor the land. 25 miles across the channel at Le Clipon was a different story see Here hopefully we will get across the channel later this week.
At the ARC the islands are now submerged, a Great White Egret and a couple of Marsh Harriers could be seen and in the Willow Trail 2 Chiffchaffs were the highlights.
The Long-tailed Duck was still on Scotney along with the feral Barnacle Geese.
Out in the middle of Walland Marsh once again no Marsh Harriers roosted in the reed bed I was watching, however I did see at least 8 Marsh Harriers, a Common Buzzard, a Peregrine, a Merlin, 100s of Lapwings and Golden Plover and 5 Ruff, also a bird that has been very scarce on the marsh this year a Short-eared Owl No.220 on the marsh this year.
