Northam Burrows

Cold and windy on the Burrows this morning, and unsurprisingly very few migrants about. I did manage 4 Wheatear and a Swallow, but as I was about to leave found 2 Water Pipits actively feeding on the strand line.

Very breezy on the Burrows this morning, and most of the wagtails have moved on. Just small numbers of Pied and White remain. Around 20 Ringed Plover and 9 Dunlin passing through and a Little Ringed Plover around Greylake Pool.
Still quiet on the warbler front, but a Whitethroat was heard.

A good morning at Northam Burrows. A small flock of 6 Snow Buntings were on the Pebble Ridge at Sandmere, and a single Purple Sandpiper was wading around the edge of the mere itself.

At the Skern there were 5 Pale-bellied Brents among 100+ Dark-bellied, and a female Merlin was sitting on the saltmarsh there. Earlier a Short-eared Owl had been reported
