NWT Holme Dunes

   A nice cold night and the first frost for ages, the hoped for cold weather movements simply did not happen, apart from a skein of 60 pink-feet coming in from the north-west.

   Lots of walkers, dogs and birdwatchers in that order, and most interest centered on the shorelarks. Off shore my highlight today was watching six male red-breasted mergansers displaying furiously to a lone female and just beyond the breakers. Crests flaring and heads being thrown backwards, it was short-lived as they soon flew off west.
