A rather cloudy day but with some occasion brightness with the wind easterly 3-4.
Not as good as yesterday, but the morning sea-watch did produce a mixed bag of species with 14 Red-throated Diver south and 7 north, a Black-throated Diver south, Velvet Scoter north, 8 Pomarine Skua north, 2 Great Skua south and one north, 7 Little Gull south and 2 north, 29 Little Auk north, 50 Fulmar north, 120 Gannet south and 70 north and 6 Wigeon south.
At South Landing, seven Common Scoter flew past, along with 12 Eider, eight Little Auks, one Pomarine Skua, 2 Puffin, 5 Redshank, 26 Turnstone and 9 Rock Pipit (but no report of the Water Pipit). In addition, a Short-eared Owl flew in off the sea. South Landing’s tree cover held a Chiffchaff, female Brambling and Coal Tit. Nearby, Whelkie Winds also had another Chiffchaff.
