Another cold day, snow tonight on the moor! A single Slavonian Grebe on the grey sea this morning, someone reported 6 yesterday! I found a few Goldcrests by the first pond and I could hear a woodpecker ( greater spot) drumming in the distance.

I walked towards the main pond and saw a different bird in the water, a male Shoveler, my first for the year. The Cetti's Warbler was calling in the gorse but really didn't want to show much. I continued up to the dune ridge as saw loads of gull feeding on something. When I got the scope on them it was Razorbills feeding and the gulls trying to mug the fish off them. I counted 112 Razors.

The above photo was taken on groyne 10, there were 11 Grey Plover resting and I thought this would be a nice shot.
