Cold & Windy, Windy & Cold


Unfortunately we couldn't even try and catch birds today as the wind was too strong for even the sheltered nets. Standing on the cliff top at the very tip of Gedser Odde we were buffeted by the wind so much that standing straight was a challenge and using binoculars was physically impossible.

Once again there was little activity within the garden with just the usual Yellowhammers and Great Tits around with a couple of Fieldfare overhead. During the afternoon, 5 Little Gulls flew east along the base of the cliffs. A single Red Kite appeared overhead and drifted off to the north and 9 Twite paused briefly on the beach before heading the same way.

Around Gedser village there were a further 20 Little Gull picking at the surface of the waves among the other Gull species at the Port. On the west side of the peninsular 3 Smew (including 2 males) were near the marina as were at least 23 Greater Scaup.

M & T
