Nees Point, Links Hill and Gunton Wood.

Bright with a distinct chill in the air.

Gunton Wood: I was unable to catch up with any reported nuthatch so no joy here but plenty of the Tit family and GOLDCREST as well as GOLDFINCH.

Links Hill: Several large gulls in the car park but only one MED GULL which was ringed. Also two COMMON GULL and BLACK HEADED GULL. Just one CROW and CORMORANT out at sea.

Ness Point: The sad conclusion here is that there was only two PURPLE SANDPIPER. When you think that I can remember over 30 birds here in the winter. TURNSTONE numbered out at 9. With just one RED-THROATED-DIVER sitting on the water, obviously not feeding. But a reasonable movement of CORMORANT heading North. But a surprise was a pair of SHOVELORE heading South.
