A classic sea watching wind today (F5, northerly) and the auks continued to be in evidence, tens of thousands passed north in the first two hours of a three hour watch, the majority were Guillemots but also included 1056 Puffins which was the first decent count of the year. Kittiwakes were also moving north along with 470 Fulmar.


On the land there was a Barn Owl at Bempton and another at Buckton along with a Short eared.
