I finished with 49 species and 56 points and the wonder of it all is that I am not last,
not even in the relegation zone!! I still cannot get dunlin or ringed plover despite scouring the Long Hole on various states of the tide. Because I spent 10 days away in February my performance this month is dire as I have only added
rock pipit to the list on the patch. The garden seems to have produced all it is going to produce and I am still missing
siskin and redpoll. I have seen another
guillemot and a
razorbill in the marina, but nice as that is they do not score points. The
grey wagtail was on the beach at Stricklands again.

| The seaweed bank was attracting feeding black-headed gulls and turnstones. I have seen similiar feeding behaviour in Hauxley although on a much bigger scale. | | |

| The beach at Hauxley had 3 types of gulls and 5 species of waders all feeding furiously and lifting on a big wave. |
However spring is on the way and the garden has a bit of colour again. Hopefully the early migrants are on the way to boost my score in March.
