March 29th
After a squally morning with a NE gale blowing in sleety showers we didn't venture out until after lunch. There was nothing new to be seen on our walk with most small birds sheltering out of sight. We did however count 2 Chiffchaffs, 1 Pied Wagtail, 2 Song Thrushes, 2 Great Crested Grebes, 1 Coot, 7 Cormorants, 35 Stock Doves, 4 Mallard and 2 Gadwall.
