Storm Gertrude delivered south-westerly gales at times reaching force 9 throughout the morning and early afternoon, dying off late afternoon, a mostly bright day with the odd rain shower. A quiet seawatch  with 50 Fulmar (300 north), 466 Gannet (228 north), 130 Common Gull and two Wigeon. Two Richards Pipits commuted between the the first and second fields east of North Landing.
