Snow Bunting

Another steady day at the Obs, the highlight has been 9 Snow Buntings on the Beach at Gore Point, and 5 Cattle Egrets amongst the cows off Broadwater road. There are still large numbers of Teal on the broad water, with a count of 140 today. This afternoon a Barn Owl has been hunting over the grazing marsh, and there were a few Rock Pipits around Thornham Harbour and also 1 at Gore Point.
