Black Redstarts, Short Hedge (Mark Pearson)

A busy day with a gentler (but still cool) east-south-easterly airflow and sunny skies by the afternoon. Early on, a Merlin went east off Carr Naze and 256 Common Gulls went south in 45 minutes, with a Great Northern Diver off the Brigg. This afternoon, an Osprey went north, a Hooded Crow went south, a Common redstart was near Short Hedge and two Black Redstarts and two Wheatears were on the manure heap there. 175 Linnets and 18 Yellowhammers were in the same area.
