St Cath's A.M

Southerly winds meant a sea watch was the worth a go, with my bro who's down for the Christmas period. Not a great deal to write home about, but nice to see red throated divers, auks (mostly guillemots but razorbills too), kittiwakes, and med gulls moving by the point. Plus 3 firecrest.

Brading NR P.M

Again out with my bro. Still unseasonably mild, but the wind was strengthening with a nip to it. Highlights from laundry lane: merlin (chasing a skylark), marsh harriers (of different sexes/ages), and a peregrine.
