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.
