Cogden Beach - Sun 20 Mar

Ellie and I set off for the coast after an early lunch for a walk in the wonderful spring sun. We arrived at Cogden Beach at about 1.30pm and walked down to the beach, overhead there were several Skylarks in full song, and this accompanied us throughout our walk.
After such a clear night and morning, I didn't expect to see any migrants, and this was indeed the case. Despite the lack of birds we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon in the sun.
Whilst sitting on the beach in the sun, I took the opportunity to see if there was anything on the water, and a lone female Common Scoter was all I could locate.
We returned to the car, along the way a Meadow Pipit flew overhead and several Common Gulls passed by out to sea. Not a lot in the way of birds this afternoon, but it was great to get out in the fresh air.
