Friday 7th January

 A better day’s weather: still quite cold, but with longer sunny periods interspersed with showers of rain and sleet.

The only bird news today comes from Gary Turnbull of 3 Purple Sandpipers at Bruichladdich – they’ve been much less regularly seen there this winter.

James How sent in the following interesting insight into one aspect of last year’s weather:

“I have added up the 2021 rainfall from my rain gauge. 1234mm makes it the driest year since 2013. I also always look at the rainfall for the spring period April – May. 3 of the 4 driest springs since 1999 have been the last three years - 2019, 2020 and 2021.”
