17 March 2013

Started the day with a casual couple of hours vis migging from the Little Paxton  balcony, 26 Waxwings which flew over east calling were the highlight otherwise a trickle of Redwings over, 8 Reed Buntings NE and 3 Curlew NW were the best of it then heavy rain set in until very late afternoon.

Spent the last two hours of gloomy daylight at Grafham scanning the gull roost from the Dam and along the north shore. 3 adult Yellow-legged Gulls and at least 2 adult Kittiwakes were in the roost, an adult Mediterranean Gull came in over the Dam with a group of Black-headed Gulls, a Turnstone was on the dam as were 2 Oystercatchers and 8 Common Snipe dropped into the flooded stubble field north of the Dam at dusk. A lone Chiffchaff was at the north end of the Dam as were c.30 Redwings and 8 Fieldfares.
