Walked from home (Ventnor) to SCP today (Jan 14th): nearly 10 miles there and back - on a pleasant and slightly milder day. I had Black Redstart in mind and sure enough one was near the lighthouse; my first of the year. Some (perhaps) early signs of spring included a butterfly sp on the wing (may have been a peacock?), hazel catkins, snowdrops etc.
Jan 26th: Post Storm Eowyn (quiet) a.m sea-watch at SCP, (SSE/breezy/F6), 08:00-09:25: could only muster 17 RTD, 22 Kitts, 50 Gannets, a few common gulls and fulmars etc...

Thank you to all those who have been reporting humpback sightings over the last week. This footage, recorded by Stan Coddles on Sunday at Birling Gap shows the Humpback whale pectoral fin slapping, a form of non-verbal communication.
