SCP

Lighter mornings + spring = more birding (in theory)...

SCP 18th +19th early doors: 06:00 - 08:45

18th: White wagtail, firecrest, c40 mipit in-off, and a chiffchaff in-off that made its way north over the fields. 

19th: Wheatear (m), otherwise quiet. A few canada geese east. Small numbers of mipits. A flock of carrion crow (10) decided to head out to sea in a due south direction - presumably to cross it..

Brading Marsh this evening at dusk: a bittern 'booming' and a barn owl hunting. Plus a bat spp.
