Our garden was playing host to a male and a female Brambling and a Carrion Crow was being seen chased by a Hooded Crow out to sea over Norwick. A Glaucous Gull flew south over Skaw, a Redwing was present and a flock of 4 Carrion Crows were seen flying south a fair way out to sea. A walk around Norwick added 2 Great Northern Divers, the Whimbrel, the singing Redwing, the Ring Ouzel and Magnus's male Yellowhammer being the first that we've seen this year.
