Another morning at Hurst. This time in quite a strong west wind. More birds moving along the coast than previously, but not much quality. Shag reached double figures, and Red-breasted Merganser totalled 9. A Diver was seen briefly, almost certainly one of the Black-throated from a couple of weeks ago. Heading back along the spit, a Black Redstart flew past heading back towards the buildings where they usually occur. Finally a big flock of Brents to sift through, but no surprises.

Should bring with it a Lapland Bunting or two! Originally shared by Met Office - Weather You might have seen headlines today talking about a #weatherbomb   heading towards the UK. This animation shows a developing area of #lowpressure off Greenland which will bring windy weather this week. Keep on eye on the latest severe weather warnings at http://bit.ly/1aRItgD What is a 'weather bomb'? A 'weather bomb' is not a perfect #meteorological term but is defined as an intense low pressure system with a central pressure that falls 24 millibars in a 24-hour period. A better description can be more directly linked to the meteorological #phenomena known as rapid or explosive #cyclogenesis. You can learn more at http://bit.ly/1G9jS7V
