I started the day at 730am at Holme marsh, the undoubted pick of birds from here were 7 White-fronted Geese, a fairly scarce visitor to Holme. They flew over west, only to turn around & head back East. Also here 2 Grey Partridge
Out on the grazing marsh 1500 Pink-Feet were present & an obliging Barn Owl was showing well.
On the sea several 100 Common Scoter, a male Eider, a pair of Red-breasted Merganser, 3 Kittiwake, Razorbill, Guillemot & 12 Fulmar west were all welcome additions.
Other birds of note 3+ Buzzard, 5+ Marsh harrier, 6+ Bullfinch, Green Woodpecker & a nice selection of the usual shorebirds on the beach
The day ended with another Barn owl, a Tawny Owl but an unsuccessful search for Bittern.
