Before reading further, could I please ask you to kindly help us fund the construction of our observatory building. Once in situ, it will secure seabird monitoring moving forward and the data obtained from studies will help conserve our threatened species. Click here for further details and how you can help….

A day of moderate south-west winds, brightening skis after a largely overcast skies and warmer temperatures. During the morning’s seawatch, 12 Pink-footed Geese, ten Red-throated Divers, eight Snipe, four Bonxies, two Arctic Skuas and a juvenile Long-tailed Skua flew south, whilst a juvenile Sabine’s Gull and 4000 Razorbills flew north; relatively few of the latter species having been present on previous days. An additional 53 Pink-footed Geese were seen over the headland, whilst a Great Northern Diver was on the sea in the afternoon, with a second bird moving south. Presumably the long-staying Black Redstart was again present in Thornwick Bay.
