Boxing Day bits and bobs

The Hoopoe still at Pensarn today but elusive as often the case, many dog walkers etc in the area today. Two female Scaup offshore here close in and lots of Common Scoter further out. Buff-bellied Pipit still on Dee Estuary, Burton Marsh, also Siberian Chiffchaff reported there, anyone seen this bird? Is it a real one? Hen Harrier, Merlin and Peregrine all here and the late Wheatear still present - worth a visit. More storms tonight so could be more stuff blown into the Cricceth/Black Rock/Porthmadog area? Further away a Brunnich's Guillemot in Dorset, Portland Harbour, worth keeping an eye open for storm driven rarities. We still have space on our Finland/Norway trip in May/June 2014 only a few places left so if you fancy it please get in touch for more details soon. Hope everyone had a happy and peaceful Christmas.
