1st February 2015

A day of force 8 north-north-westerlies, frequent showers, which were occasionally wintry, and temperatures not exceeding 3 degrees C. In total 1004 Fulmars moved north during the morning, with an additional Blue Fulmar doing the same. Four Pale-bellied Brent Geese headed north, as did two Goldeneye. Nine Kitttiwakes flew past the Headland, whilst two Little Auks flew north, with another individual sat on the sea off the Fog Station.

Elsewhere, a drake Goldeneye visited Thornwick Pool and 24 Ringed Plover, a Bar-tailed Godwit and a Woodcock were present at South Landing.
