2 Velvet Scoter and a Grasshopper Warbler were the best of the bunch at the obs today.Expectations were high coming into the Easter weekend, 4 sea watches and all but so far the jury is still out on whether the Easter bunny has left us a rotten egg. Magic Mark was in the obs with me yesterday but today it was just me the birds were similar though. So far this holiday we have had NW on fri, SW today that went round to SE. Its forecast to be NE tomorrow so lets not write it off yet
