Early morning walkers were surprised by a juvenile Long-tailed Skua flying north over the Old Fall flash. An evening seawatch with a noticeable swell brought birds close, with the best seawatch so far this autumn: 2 Sabine’s Gull, 2 Cory’s Shearwater, one juvenile Long-tailed Skua, 12 Sooty Shearwater, three Pomarine Skuas, juv Med Gull and 3 Little Tern. A 1st summer Yellow-legged Gull was among the large gulls on the land, with a Common Buzzard over Old Fall.
