2nd February 2016

A sunny day with a strong westerly wind throughout. Seawatching continued to be quiet, with a Blue Fulmar flying north the highlight. Seven White-fronted Geese (six adults, one first-winter) were new, with additional wildfowl records including the Pink-footed Goose, three Gadwall and 20 Teal. South Landing attracted a Great Northern Diver, 30 Turnstones and a Purple Sandpiper. Other sightings included a Grey Heron, 46 Lapwing and one Redwing.
