Weather, Cold Cloudy wind South east 40mph, 

Springtime is here even though the last few days the weather has felt more like like winter ,
For most birders Spring is the best time of the year with expectations of what birds might appear,
The first few days are quite frustrating with reports of spring migrants popping up in other parts of the country wetting our appetites,
The Lighthouses first spring migrant of the year was a Northern Wheatear on 9th of March found by Ken Davies its the Earliest date for the last ten years,

Northern Wheatear, Dave Haigh
A Northern Wheatear was spotted west of the lighthouse in the horse paddock this Morning and no further sightings in the afternoon, A Little Gull was spotted quite close in to the western groyne late morning ,
A maximum of 3 Raven were seen today and over the last few days in the area near park lane ,
Good numbers of Meadow Pipit are in the fields as well as Pied Wagtail,
