3rd November 2018

After sunny intervals during the morning, increasingly overcast with a blustery south-westerly wind. During the seawatch, six Wigeon, five Common Scoter and an Arctic Skua flew north, with a Great Northern Diver heading south.

The White-tailed Eagle left its roost in North Dykes at 0645hrs, but almost immediately dipped below the treeline and promptly disappeared. However, the Little Bunting in South Landing proved to be more co-operative and showed well late morning feeding in the canopy of sycamores immediately south of the car-park. Other sightings from the South Landing area included a Short-eared Owl, one Yellow-browed Warbler and two Siberian Chiffchaffs. A Snow Bunting was located near Thornwick and 11 Corn Buntings frequented North Dykes.
