Tough!

A post from the Alaska forum yesterday...

Welcome clear skies corresponded with cooler temperatures down to 20º last night, rising to 39º this afternoon. A brisk NNE wind blasted the feeble heat from an apologetic sun as it dashed across the sky in a low arc.

Shortly after dawn at 9:30 am, the ANNA’S HUMMINGBIRD flashed between the spruce tree and lighted feeder, having survived another cold and windy night.

Spent the first couple of hours down at Welwick. Arrived at sun up but the PALLID HARRIER had already departed west towards Patrington. We had a good walk and left at 9. There was another report at 9.30!

I had an hour at Spurn and tried for the Richard's Pipit and a Long-tailed Duck on the sea but dipped on both. The afternoon deteriorated and that was that.
