11th January 2015

Another day featuring a strong westerly wind, with sunny intervals and then overcast conditions and temperatures ranging from 3 to 5 degrees C. A Great Northern Diver flew north on the seawatch, as did a Blue Fulmar, whilst eight Common Scoters flew south, together with 160 Shag leaving the roost and four Peregrines together over the Fog Station.

A female Velvet Scoter was off South Dykes, with a Bar-tailed Godwit and two Sanderling on the nearby beaches. A Woodcock roosted in South Landing again, with a Goldcrest, ten Long-tailed Tits and two Treecreepers also located.
