10 - 10:20am. Weather: Cold, dank, overcast & grey; still.
A regular visit in the hope of catching twite & lapland bunting but I now visit with diminishing enthusiasm due to the number of walkers & dog-walkers that go through the area, reducing the chances of seeing almost anything. On this occasion a couple of walkers making their way from Holme along the wall let their dog roam over the entirety of the fallow field I was looking over. At some points the dog was at least half a mile from where they were. To make matters worse as they approached closer I saw they were both dutifully wearing binoculars with their entrance stickers stuck on, not that they had much call to use them with their irresponsible lack of control over their dog!
Shelduck - 4 over then a few more on the estuary later.
Redshank, Meadow Pipit.
Skylark - a few seen flitting about the field & one or two singing.
Barn Owl - one flying along the tree-line onto Holme Dunes reserve.
Curlew, Kestrel.
