Just before sunrise c20 Bewick swans flew over my house out onto Walland Marsh, they presumably roosted on the ARC or Burrowes. The Yellowhammers were still in the hedge opposite.
A gentle WSW 2-3 breeze and a positively balmy 4ยบ enabled a somewhat slow watch with only 6 Gannets seen, but 2 Velvet Scoters were nice addition to the year list.
