Still a mighty swell running off the Bill today but with the wind reduced to little more than a waft of easterly
Red-throated Divers were still relocating toward Lyme Bay in good quantity, with far less comprehensive coverage than yesterday producing another 59 during the morning; the
Great Skua and 2
Eider were also still offshore, whilst 2
Redpolls and a
Merlin were about on the land. Elsewhere, the
Rosy Starling was at Easton, single
Black Redstarts were at Blacknor and Verne Common Estate, a total of 210 was this winter's peak for
Dunlin at Ferrybridge and the
Red-necked Grebe was again amongst the waterfowl selection at Portland Harbour/Ferrybridge that also included 65
Red-breasted Mergansers - a good total in the current era of sawbill poverty.
