With some decent weather at the moment I decided to visit The Bill again, just in case there were any early Spring migrants, especially with that strong southerly we are experiencing at the moment.
There weren't any but I did have a Chiffchaff and a Black Redstart. Both birds overwintering here.
Birds missing from my observations today were Shags and Guillemots. Yesterday they were quite abundant, but with the waves as high as they were today, if there were any about they were well hidden in the troughs.

The sea was a lot rougher than yesterday and the Red Crane was getting a good bashing.
With so much spray, there were quite a few rainbows.
