A cold morning found small numbers of Auk and Scoter moving distantly offshore and several Gannet moving east. Fewer Brent Geese and Lapwing in the field, but persistent paid off checking fields when I flushed a Woodcock south of the Marina, and a Jack Snipe nearby. A Dartford Warbler with Stonechat behind the old railway carriage site provided a good start to the year list, Happy New Year All.
