WeBS

Lade - 1000hrs - Sunny, dry, cold, se3 - A nippy morning for the monthly WeBS count. Numbers generally down on last moth but still over 300 Coots, 5 Goldeneyes and 76 Teals the highlight. Chiffchaff, Green Woodpecker and Cetti`s Warbler noted in the willows.
By late afternoon the wind had picked up and gone due east off the sea, making for a very cold end to the day. Just managed to get over the desert as the light was failing to see several Marsh Harriers drifting over towards the local roost site.
