Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)



M.A.S.H. https://youtu.be/UDon7lYhV8s

Vitamin D deficiency:-

Your exposure to sunlight is limited.Because the body makes vitamin D when your skin is exposed to sunlight, you may be at risk of deficiency if you are homebound, live in northern latitudes, wear long robes or head coverings for religious reasons, or have an occupation that prevents sun exposure.

Pintail from a couple of weeks back.

Woke up and had a look at a couple of Peregrine webcams with the Chichester bird looking wet and the Sheffield bird surrounded by pretty heavy snowfall !! No real sign of decent weather on the horizon.
Pretty much nil today other than a close Water Rail, two Sand Martins, two Barwits and upward of sixty Med Gulls. A Barn Owl entered one of the owl boxes just prior to my arrival, the male harrier was up briefly and earlier, over coffee, ten Sandwich Terns went east.

Too wet for me but the Stokes Bay guys had a small passage of seabirds and Matt and co (needless to say!!) at Splash Point had a good watch; hopefully there will be dryer days in the next six weeks to try at Selsey.
