A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR MEMBERS AND WEB VISITORS!!
A brief seawatch today produced 1000 Common Scoter and 3 Red-breasted Mergansers, while on the grazing marshes over 3000 Pink-feet were counted. A flock of 150 Golden Plover, a Kingfisher, Water Rail, 2 Stonechats, a Bullfinch and a single Twite at Thornham Harbour were also of interest.
