There was no sign of the Woodlark at the south end today. Skylark numbers on the Outmarsh had decreased by about half, too. The only thrushes were 20 Blackbirds, 3 Redwings and 2 Fieldfares. Significant birds were 4 Chiffchaffs, 7 Goldcrests, 6 Siskins, 8 Lesser Redpolls, 4 Twite, Jay, Water Rail, 4 Lapland Buntings, Woodcock, 63 Pink-footed Geese, 9 Whooper Swans, 60 Common Scoters, 63 Curlews, 2nd cy Mediterranean Gull, Kittiwake, Peregrine and Merlin.
