16th January 2016

It was another cold day with moderate north-westerly winds, sunshine with occasional light showers and temperatures that peaked at 5 degrees C. Seawatching highlights included one Great Northern Diver, 18 Red-throated Divers, 788 Fulmars, a Common Scoter, two Wigeon, seven Little Auks, six Puffins, 18 ‘argentatus’ Herring Gulls and five Kittiwakes all flying north.

The White-fronted Goose was still present at North Marsh, along with the Pink-footed Goose, and the Woodcock remained at South Landing. On the opposite side of the Headland, the three Richard’s Pipits showed well in the first field east of North Landing.
