Overcast and rain throughout, with a northerly wind establishing from mid-morning; temperatures peaked at seven degrees C. A pod of six Bottlenose Dolphins was the highlight of a morning’s seawatch that also featured significant numbers of Guillemots/Razorbills and 582 Gannets. The Velvet Scoter remained off South Landing, where 80 Turnstones represented a good tally, whilst the Siberian Chiffchaff continued its residence at Thornwick. Buckton cliff top again proved attractive to five Lapland Buntings.
