Another day of blustery southerly winds and overcast skies with light rain early morning and temperatures peaking at 12 degrees C. The morning’s seawatch was quiet, with 25 Common Scoters and three Knot flying south; 32 Purple Sandpipers frequented the rocks below the Fog Station. The sea off Beacon Hill attracted 20 Red-throated Divers, a Great Crested Grebe and 75 Common Scoters; nearby South Dykes hosted two Chiffchaffs amongst a tit flock.
