less snow, more wind

Another relatively uneventful day. We did enjoy several snow-less hours this morning and even opened a couple of nets for a while. The wind had picked up overnight so we were limited to only the most sheltered ones and had to be closed at 0945 when the snow returned. The snow showers continued on-and-off all day. We didn't catch anything.

Sightings included a small flock of Brambling passing overhead and a couple of Greenfinch and Goldfinch. A Rook was feeding with the Hooded Crows today and a Rock Pipit was on the beach briefly.

The north-east wind was bitterly cold today and that looks set to continue tomorrow, and hopefully ... no more snow!

 Blue sky!!!

Just to give an idea of the size of the snow drift that has eaten this net, I am a little over 6 foot tall, about 188cm!!
