It's all gone downhill a little since the harlequin - although that might have something to do with the fact that it coincided with me going back to work. I've been out every lunchtime but it's been particularly quiet - no additions to the patch year list and nothing of not, although a very briefly seen weasel the other day was nice, and the snow buntings that Mark Hammonds had in the golf club car park would have been nice as well!
Even counts of common species are low. Eider have peaked at 106 and purple sandpiper at 145. The only really notable count has been common gull, which numbered c.1200 the only time I've tried to count them.
