Wednesday 9th November, 2016

Weather poor today with the day being mostly overcast with some light rain, winds south to east force 3 and temperature 5c.

The couple of hours sea-watch in the morning produced four Eider north, five Common Scoter south and eight north, three Red-throated Diver south and 19 north, Black-throated Diver north and three Dunlin south. Present off the headland were 50 Fulmar and thousands of Guillemot.

Due to the poor weather a rather steady day elsewhere with 31 Teal, Water Rail, Snipe and Barn Owl at Thornwick Pools. A Woodcock and Rose-ringed Parakeet were in a garden near Flamborough Church.

Buckton had Common Redpoll, 60 Blackbird, Common Buzzard, five Woodcock and five Snipe.
