The day featured gale force westerly winds, sunny intervals and temperatures that reached 12 degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, single Eider and Red-throated Diver, 210 Fulmars, 81 Kittiwakes and a Lesser Black-backed Gull flew north; signs of visible migration over the Fog Station included seven Rook.
Single Chiffchaff were located at both Oceanview and South Dykes, with a Nuthatch also at the latter location. Two Redwing were undoubtedly migrants, as almost certainly were the bulk of 40 Chaffinch.
