A whacking great falcon which I think was a Saker was being mobbed by crows and even a Marsh Harrier in the northern fields today. There were also one pretend and one more real looking Hooded Crow up there.

A Lesser Whitethroat this morning in the North Dunes. Unfortunately it was not seen well enough to determine which race/"species" it was.

A Swift sp flew south along the beach at 08.10. In the murky drizzle it was impossible to pick up any features to suggest which species though. Other than that just a few Gannets, Red-throated Divers and one Turnstone.
In the afternoon 25 Redwings landed briefly in the garden and there were about 50 in the South Dunes.

A Short-eared Owl in off the sea this morning and Ted saw the Rough-legged Buzzard which has been lurking erratically since last Saturday.
