20th February 2015

A moderate south-westerly wind, overcast with persistent rain until early afternoon and temperatures of 6 degrees C. The morning seawatch from North Landing was quiet, with 11 Red-throated Divers flying south and 11 Kittiwakes north. The Greenland & Russian White-fronted Geese were both still present. A pair of Shelduck returned, whilst other wildfowl included seven Wigeon and 14 Teal. Two Mistle Thrushes were the only passerines of note.
