15th February 2020

An overcast day, with strong winds strengthening throughout; after a foggy start, it was overcast with spells of rain, whilst temperatures reached 11 degrees C. A Blue Fulmar was the undoubted highlight of an otherwise quiet morning seawatch. Two Pink-footed Geese and the Russian White-fronted Goose remained, but there was no sign of the Grey Phalarope at Thornwick Pools. A total of 73 Magpies was noteworthy, as were 30 Redwings and a Chiffchaff.
