Today’s weather was in stark contrast to yesterday’s, with clear blue skies and light north-westerly winds. Forty Red-throated Divers were recorded during the seawatch, whilst a Blue Fulmar and four Eiders flew north.
Elsewhere sightings included three Gadwall, 25 Teal, one Wigeon, a Grey Heron, one Great Crested Grebe and 50 Purple Sandpipers. South Dykes hosted a Tawny Owl and two Treecreepers; including one singing. The two Richard’s Pipits remained in their favoured field immediately north-east of the chalets.
