During the morning seawatch, 35 Red-throated Divers flew south and two ‘northern’ Herring Gulls headed north. In addition, a Great Northern Diver remained on the sea off South Dykes, where the Black Redstart lingered on the beach. Notable sightings on the headland itself included 25 Wigeon, a Woodcock and one Sanderling. Stubbles attracted six Mistle Thrush, 18 Redwing, five Fieldfare, 160 Tree Sparrows, 144 Linnet, 45 Reed Buntings and 105 Yellowhammers.
