24-03-25 - Monday - Seabird movement

Temp 08°C to 15°C - Grim, overcast morning, followed by glorious sunshine! A force 3 NNE wind gradually dropping to force 1.

Unusual movement of Kittiwakes/Gannets heading up the Bristol Channel again today with large numbers of birds flying in to the NNE wind - possibly birds on their way to breeding grounds in North Sea. 

Smaller numbers of routine migrants continuing to trickle in to the area.
