Aftermath.

In the aftermath of last nights storm, Scatness seems to have survived quite well, the thistles and docks are still standing (but now at 45 degrees), the trees still have plenty of leaves and the one iris bed is still standing tall. Bird wise - well it's better than yesterday anyway, 23 Song Thrushes were kicking about, 11 Goldcrests, a Whinchat, a Redwing, 2 Blackcaps, 3 Lesser Whitethroats, 2 Garden Warblers, 3 Brambling (on the beach !), 13 Lapland Buntings, 90 Twite, 1 Robin, 2 Siskin, a Black Redstart and a Greenshank.
'Miguel Sanchez', the mad Sparrow is still in the garden.
