Winter Wonderland!

28th November 2010 – bright and frosty with another early dusting of snow SE3/2/1
Offshore
The group of 14 Shags remained and the Slavonian Grebe was off the sheltered eastern shore.
Diurnal Migration
A total of 220 Pink-footed Geese headed south in 2 skeins.
Wildfowl and Waders
The Long-tailed Duck remains in residence and the long-staying flock of 28 Barnacle Geese held a dark-bellied Brent Goose.
Miscellaneous
A further decline in the numbers of Little Egret present was apparent with just 17 birds found along the eastern shore of the island – presumably others have headed for warmer climes.
