19th December 2024

A bright day, with prolonged sunny intervals, a moderate west-north-westerly wind and a high of six degrees C. Seawatch highlights included a northbound Little Auk, four Little Gulls also north and 80 Pink-footed Geese flying south. Twenty Bottlenose Dolphins moved north, while a lone Snow Bunting was on the cliff top. Another Little Auk rested on the sea off High Stacks.

Elsewhere, 11 Whooper Swans spent the day on a flash near Buckton Hall.
