Another chilly morning on The Point with a NE wind producing a little cold weather movement:
09.15-10.40
Brent Goose: 9 up 12 down
Shelduck: 3 up
Teal: 80 down
Shoveller: 11 down
Wigeon: 8 up
Red-throated Diver: 16 up 9 down
Great-crested Grebe: 3 around
Gannet: 374 down
Cormorant: present n/c
Merlin: 1 around
Oystercatcher: 1 up
Turnstone: 3 around
Great Skua: 2 around
Mediterranean Gull: 1 around
Kittiwake: 7 down 3 around
Guillemot: 6 on 3 down
Razorbills: 1 up 1 down
Auk sp: 16 up 21 down
Redwing: 13 in
Linnet: 4 in
Reed Bunting: 1 in
On the reserve the Cattle Egret still around Cooks Pool late morning. On Burrowes an adult Caspian
Gull at midday from the visitor centre also a Peregrine resting on an island.
I had just arrived home for lunch, when I received prompt news via Owen of a Rough-legged Buzzard seen by Dave Bunney over the top end of the Long Pits heading for Lade. As I scanned the area I could see clouds of Gulls going ballistic, unfortunately I couldn't pick out the Rough-legged Buzzard.
After lunch I made my way to the Water Tower to scan again for the Buzzard but no luck.
Late afternoon from Firth only a few Gulls came in a 3w Yellow-legged Gull being the best, while their the Black-necked Grebe seen this morning by Pete put in an appearance. No sign this afternoon of the Spotted Redshank.
As my barely 2 year old Acer Nitro has now decided that it has no bootable device in it probably due to yet another Windows 10 update, so much for i7 processors, I think I will switch over to Mac. Not sure whether to get an MacBook Pro or an iMac. If anyone has any thoughts they would like to share I would be grateful. In the mean time I'll try and make do with my old iPad, but unable to post pictures.
