Climping Gap: The weather forecast promised a dry and fairly bright morning in this area, but it was way off the mark as rain was the order of the day. I put in a couple of hours at Atherington, which was predictably slow, feeling like winter has arrived:-
Great Crested Grebe – 6 offshore
Red-b Merganser – 14 o/s moving back and forth
Gannet – 5 W
Brent Goose – 10 in fields
Grey Partridge - 5
Redpoll – 2 E
Siskin – 2 E
Long-tailed Tit – flock of 18
Goldcrest – 4
