Took a stroll with a good friend down the Ness Point and picked up 7 PURPLE SANDPIPERS and 4 DUNLIN. But it was also good to see the two ROCK PIPIT flitting along the North Wall as well.
STARLINGS: No one takes much notice except when there are thousands of them about, but today was odd. I walked to the shop in Norwich Road just a few hundred yards and counted 35 birds in all. Some in pairs and others in small groups. All sitting behind chimney pots or on ledges of the same on the south side. This was only true however of stacks that were north and south facing on there broad side. The only reasonable explanation........The wind was from the North East and was bitter. It is the first time in month's that the wind has come from Siberia were a very large High is situated. So from my way of thinking they are hiding away from the wind and sitting in the sun.
