27th November 2014

Another misty day, with persistent drizzle and a light south-south-west wind. A southerly movement of wildfowl took place during the morning’s seawatch with 246 Teal, ten Wigeon, two Tufted Duck, single Pintail and Goldeneye all recorded. In addition, 46 Red-throated Divers were on the sea, three Bar-tailed Godwits flew south, two Pomarine Skuas headed north, as did a Bonxie, and a Little Auk also flew north.

Thornwick Pool attracted 12 Teal, nine Snipe, a Redshank and at least one Water Rail. Two Mistle Thrush and a Chiffchaff were present at Oceanview.
