5th February 2016

A south-south-west wind strengthened during the day which was largely bright but overcast. During the seawatch a Great Northern Diver flew south, 350 Pink-footed Geese and seven Wigeon moved north and 185 Razorbills were recorded; the first treble-figure tally since mid-October.

Four Grey Herons were recorded, along with a Common Buzzard, 55 Purple Sandpipers and one Stonechat. A Black Redstart was also located at the Fog Station.
