Tuesday 4th February

A seawatch early morning saw some movement offshore with 188 Guillemot, 41 Razorbill, 22 Kittiwake, 12 Gannet, four Red-throated Diver and a Fulmar heading south in just 30 minutes. 

Elsewhere six Red-breasted Merganser were in the estuary, four Shoveler and a Little Grebe were on the Main Pond and five Long-tailed Tit, two Chiffchaff and a Bullfinch in the bushes.

Ringing News: Details have been received on two recent metal ringed birds, both read in the field. An Avocet present on 30th January had been ringed on Brownsea Island, Dorset in 2011, the first Warren recovery for this species. 

The second was a Redshank present on 1st February which had been ringed at Exminster Marshes on 25th February 2023, the ninth Warren recovery overall, but the first since 1986.
