A little windier than ideal but another day of clear blue skies. There were 3 Brambling and a Chaffinch on our feeders. A walk around Norwick produced 4 Long-eared Owls, a Wheatear, my first Willow Warbler of the year, 2 Chiffchaffs, a Goldcrest and 2 Siskins. A late afternoon visit to the shop coincided nicely with Robbie watching a Sand Martin and 2 Swallows feeding along the edge of the sound and a quick check of a few more sites around Baltasound added a Jack Snipe feeding in the open and a male Hawfinch.
