A wholly grim day of constant buffeting wind and frequent heavy showers. At the Bill the only reports were from the sea, where 2
Red-throated Divers, 2
Brent Geese and singles of
Black-throated Diver and
Common Scoter passed through; despite the conditions several single
Meadow Pipits and a
Pied Wagtail were also logged arriving in off the sea. Elsewhere, 24
Brent Geese were still at Ferrybridge where a wintering
Kingfisher was also still about, and 2
Black-necked Grebes and singles of
Great Northern Diver,
Slavonian Grebe and
Common Scoter were in Portland Harbour.
