With a dusting of snow a Lesser Black-backed Gull at Watergate was the first summer migrant of the year, arriving four days later than last year. Not a great deal else here, but there was a small flock of Siskin.

At Birtley reed beds the recently cleared areas held 2 Water Rail, 10 Teal and a Shelduck.
Lamesley held a pair of Gadwall and 4 Wigeon, while a few Redwing zipped over.
A very cold and windswept Burdon Moor held a hardy Heron while I retreated to the warmth of the car.
Far Pasture gave excellent close views of 15 Snipe while a Kingfisher was feeding at several spots around the pond.
