Wintersett 20.01.2024

Anglers CP:  6 degrees C

A 1st Winter male Scaup  still present. 

An Oystercatcher is the first spring migrant in the shallows! 

An Oystercatcher  18th January 1997 is the earliest, but was a migrant, as was one on the 19th January 1980.  

The earliest a breeding bird has returned seems to be

 27th January in 2018 and 2020.  So if it's a breeder it's the earliest!

Wintersett Res:

A Cetti's Warbler was on the west bank.

Wntersett Res. Gull Roost: 

An adult Mediterranean Gull was in the roost tonight.
