What a difference a day makes! Well Sunday dawned with not a lot coming on the pager (despite stong easterly winds and rain), so we headed off to seawatch at Hutoft on the Lincs coast. 10 bar-tailed godwits were feeding on the golf course along with this kestrel as we drove into the car park. Highlights of the afternoon were arctic, pom and bonxie, 3 red throated divers, common scoters, guillemots, sandwich and common terns and 8 sanderling along with 100's of passing ganets. A pleasant afternoon, keeping out of the wind which was bitterly cold. Karen added a new 2012 bird making this year's tally so far a pathetic 223 !
