As the appalling weather continues sea watching has been a challenge, with force 7-8 southerly blowing with drizzle this morning I was definitely not up to the challenge. A leisurely breakfast this morning whilst the very keen birders were out around Scotney looking for yesterdays American Wigeon, with the lure of a Red-necked Grebe I made the stupid decision to cycle to Scotney in what was no more than a mist, however by the time I reached the old sand pit the proper rain had started, needless to say by the time I reached home I and my optics were very wet. Later I drove to Scotney in a slight pause in the weather and quickly located the Red-necked Grebe which will now probably stay for a few weeks, hopefully the American Wigeon will be re-located around the complex in the coming days.
