At least the windsurfers enjoyed the strong SE wind
Full speed ahead
I thought my job was cold walking by the water.
These hardy sailors swim in it.
1500 hrs with the cold SE>5 still blowing stopping any chance of movement in the cold temperatures at this altitude.
This mornings wave of Wheatear had moved on leaving just 1 male by the boatyard. A Heron was down by the lagoon on frog hunt along with a single Redshank whilst 4 noisy Ravens flew over the north end of the water.
An early finish due to it being so quiet but managed around 50 Fieldfare and c 100 Starling in the Nolstar field and 5 Linnet along with a Redshank in the Skylark field.
Light north easterlies for tomorrow and about the same temperatures so see how that performs, it can only get better.

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
