12th November 2024

A mainly overcast day with the wind moderate and from the north and a maximum temperature of 12°C.

An interesting seawatch for the season, highlights included a Long-tailed Duck, six Little Gulls, three Arctic Skuas, four Sooty and two Manx Shearwaters and a Great Northern Diver passing. A Snow Bunting came in off the sea and a Caspian Gull was present on the rocks.

A Merlin was at Beacon Hill, three Woodcock in the South Landing area and a Ring Ouzel with Blackbirds in the village where 33 Pink-footed Geese flew over.
