27th January 2019

A day of gale force north-west winds, sunny intervals with rain arriving mid-afternoon and temperatures reaching five degrees C. During a quiet seawatch, 302 Gannets flew north and 177 moved south. A record count of 307 Cormorants smashed the previous January record (85) and represented Flamborough’s second highest ever tally. Passerine interest included the Black Redstart at the Fog Station and a Nuthatch in South Dykes.
