The Mistle Thrush and one of the Great Northern Divers © Pete Saunders:
26th December
Another day rendered largely opaque by continuing fog. A Mistle Thrush over Osprey Quay was an oddity and a Golden Plover over Ferrybridge was another sighting more usually associated with cold weather at this time of year. The Ferrybridge Mute Swans increased to 3 and routine fare there are around Portland Harbour included at least 5 Great Northern Divers (12 were counted there yesterday, along with 7 Black-necked Grebes, 3 Common Scoter and the Long-tailed Duck).
