The Weekend!

As the cold NE wind persisted all weekend passerines were virtually non existent, Saturdays highlight was a Puffin that flew east past the hide with a Guillemot

At Scotney a flock of 18 Tree Sparrows, 8 Yellow Wagtails, a Green Sandpiper and 15 Avocets 1 with an injured wing were the highlights.

The Common Crane and at least 2 Cattle Egrets are still present but the Serin seems to have been just a brief visitor.
