Finally, the sun returned. The wind veered from northwesterly to northerly and remained light or occasionally moderate.
The change in weather brought a slightly different seawatching experience. Highlights included 239 Little Gulls, two Mediterranean Gulls, two Arctic Skuas, a Little Auk, a Great Northern Diver and 72 Red-throated Divers and a Sooty Shearwater. A Snow Bunting was also present.
A Ring Ouzel flew south-west out of the headland and 13600 Starlings also flew south-west to roost.
*** Newly emerged photographs of the seven geese that flew in off the sea on 9th November reveal that they were actually Lesser White-fronted Geese. Whether these could be considered wild birds is debatable. ***
