Red-throated Diver in front the hide this morning
Another very cold and windy day on the peninsula with showers this afternoon. Migration off shore was still very poor and probably poorer on the land. There were a few more Hirundines including a few Swifts each time a shower raced South, in the fields a few Whimbrel and the odd Bar-tailed Godwit, with a smattering of Yellow and White Wagtails but nothing to get excited about.
