Baggy Point

Took a final walk of the year to Baggy today, in bright sunshine!

Small birds were notable only by not being there - no Stonechats, no Meadow Pipits... the only passerine I saw before the point was a flighty Lapland Bunting! never seen one here before!

Off the point a female Eider was also a site first for me, then a Red-throated Diver, and a flock of 20 Common Scoter.

Sadly, no sign of any Dartford Warblers.
