Temp 02°C to 05°C - Not a pleasant day, gloomy with some light rain and felt cold in the light NE/N wind.
The 2025 Avon year list stands at 136 species after the recent addition of Brambling, see it here. No Little Gull yet, to my knowledge, what will be the next species to turn up?
After today's weather I think a look ahead to the spring migrants is allowed: Sand Martin, Wheatear, Swallow, White Wagtail, LRP and Sandwich Tern have all turned up in February in the past, so perhaps not long to go now. See the arrival dates here.
