Splash Point 30/3/18

Despite the promising wind directions, yet again the passage wasn't that great and over four hours the species tally remained low. A surprising good number of Sandwich Terns and Common Scoter were passing, but frustratingly no Skuas despite Birling getting a trio this morning. With so few migrants along the south coast, I had no inspiration to venture further.

Totals between 06.20 - 10.20 are:

Common Scoter - 487
Brent Geese - 34
Red-throated Diver - 41
Sandwich Tern - 64
Common Tern - 2
Teal - 4
Dunlin - 1
Red-breasted Merganser - 3
Gannet - 8
Shoveler - 8

With dreary birding here,

its always good to look back at this time last year.
