First thing this morning I stupidly went to The Point (I wasn't the only one) spending half an hour peering out of the car seeing just a few Gannets, Guillemots, Kittiwakes and Cormorants, which considering a NE gale was rocking the car and driving a mixture of heavy rain, sleet and snow across the beach virtually obscuring the sea and activating the fog horn.
Bewick Swans
Another drive around Walland Marsh looking for Wild Swans and Geese drew a blank, even Mute Swans were mostly absent.
On the reserve 5 Brent Geese were by the entrance track at Boulderwall, 2 Bewick Swans dropped onto Burrowes and 5 more Bewicks flew over per PB. 2 Caspian Gulls (adult and a 3w) were on the islands from Makepiece and a Brent Goose joined them. A kingfisher, Chiffchaff and Goldcrest were seen from Makepiece and the VC.
