02.01.08

Happy new year everyone. unfortunately some of us had to work yesterday so no birding.

But today i went down to the warren to start my year list.

Very windy E-SE force 4 gusting to 6. Dry.

I sought shelter in the ley of the Boathouse. First sea bird Gannet. other common species were there scoter, GND, red throated diver,kittis,turnstone, razorbills as was a Pomerine skua that has been around since yesterday at least, it was getting mobbed by GBBG. Cracking bird for this time of year, chuffed.
After an hour of cold, battering wind i decided to go and look in the bushes. Lots of tits around and some thing caught my eye, some thing pink, no not a tit! a bullfinch, i had none here last year, by the end of the day i had 3!

But just as last year, time caught up and i had to go back into dad mode, so off home i went.
