Holme Bird Observatory Wednesday 20th November 2019
A Great White Egret was again present on the grazing marsh early morning and around the Observatory two male Blackcaps were ringed during the day. Out at sea four Harbour Porpoises were a surprise find, feeding just offshore. The Tawny Owl that has been calling regularly during the day over the last week or so was finally tracked down to its daytime roost site high up in the conifers.

A cool but still day, highlights included 2 Waxwings, a Lapland Bunting over calling, and a Water Pipit trapped and ringed.
Still conditions in the afternoon produced a late Migrant Hawker and Common Darter near the Obs.

Holme Bird Observatory Friday 15th November 2019
A fairly cold and quiet day with a strong onshore wind throughout. Unsurprisingly most interest came from the sea with counts including 3 Long-tailed Ducks, 34 Eiders, 36 Common Scoters, 180 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 9 Red-breasted Mergansers, Red-throated Diver, Great Skua and a single Little Gull east.
Other interest included 5 Marsh Harriers, 2 Bearded Tits down the east bank, 2 Siskins lingering in the pines and 300 or more Lapwings on the grazing marsh.

Holme Bird Observatory Thursday 14th November 2019
A rather wet and miserable first half of the day was followed by a dry and sunny hour or two at the end. A Great White Egret watched flying in and landing in a drainage ditch on the eastern edge of the grazing marsh was arguably the best bird of the day.

Holme Bird Observatory Wednesday 13th November 2019
A flock of twenty Snow Bunting were at the western edge of Holme Dunes early morning with a Peregrine seen there too. Ringing today produced a Blackcap and a Chiffchaff along with a further 21 Long-tailed Tits ringed. A dozen Brambling, twenty Skylarks, two Siskin and a Bullfinch were all noted overflying the observatory area during the morning.

A day of fairly constant rain with only a brief window of dry weather mid-afternoon, did however produce plenty of interest. A Pallas' Warbler seen well during the morning feeding at the east end of the pines was the obvious highlight, but other migrants included Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaffs, 70+ Blackbirds, 8 Fieldfares, 4 Song Thrushes, 30 Redwings and 20 Robins.
At least 5 Woodcocks were seen throughout the morning and some 30 Snipe were seen dropping on to the grazing marsh where 5 Barnacle Geese were still present. Four Snow Buntings were also notable to the west of the dunes.
