12th December 2012

Not above freezing point today and icicles were seen on the east side of Middle as the sun went down. An adult winter Meditterranean Gull flew past the north end slipway early in the morning after the fog cleared. Ducks were the other feature of the day with flocks of 9,5 and 4 Teal, a male Goldeneye, a Wigeon, and lingering birds from the last week or so, a female Scaup and a group of 4 Pochard. Two Redwings and a Fieldfare passed through early and a Lapwing flew east towards the mainland. Five Song Thrushes were logged and a Rock Pipit was present.
Ringed:- 1 Song Thrush         [ 1088-32 ]
