January 24th
On a sunny but breezy and chilly morning we walked around the Shuart area and then visited Minnis Bay. At Shuart we recorded 1 Red-legged Partridge, 4 Moorhens, 35 Blackbirds, 3 Goldcrests, 2 Mistle Thrushes, 3 Mute Swans, 2 Green Woodpeckers, 8 Skylarks, 1 Chiffchaff, 4 Song Thrushes and 2 Long-tailed Tits.
A brief visit to Minnis Bay produced 650 Cormorants on the offshore sandbank, 2 Red-throated Divers and 3 Great Crested Grebes.
