North-north-westerly winds grew stronger during a day that began with sunny intervals and ended with heavy showers; temperatures reached a high of eight degrees C. A southbound Pomarine Skua was the highlight of a seawatch that also featured two Mediterranean Gulls, an Arctic Skua, one Great Northern Diver and a Sooty Shearwater. Elsewhere, a Slavonian Grebe sheltered off South Landing and the Richard’s Pipit was still south of Head Farm.
