Some of the 100s of Gannets that were feeding close inshore this morning off the fishing boats

Lots of Red-throated Divers to-ing and fro-ing, this one was exceptionally close

Short-eared Owls on the ranges late afternoon, 

Above is the life history so far for yellow ringed Bewick Swan AAT that I saw on Walland Marsh on 04/12/2024, apparently it was seen again today by NB in the same place. The data is not quite up to date due to the fact they have not yet received my written permission to use my sighting, the data protection act apparently, the world is going mad.

Today the Great Northern Diver and Long-tailed Duck were both still insitu on the New Diggings. Some Pink-footed Geese and Greater White-fronted Geese were associating with some Greylags on Walland Marsh today per SM. I believe they are mobile so its a case of checking every field.
