A strong west-north-westerly and variable cloud resulted in an excellent winter seawatch. A single Great Northern Diver flew south, 1806 Fulmars flew north, including six ‘Blue Fulmars‘, a Whooper Swan went north, as did two Pintail. Fourteen Pomarine Skuas flew south, a record December tally, whilst a single Arctic Skua moved south, four Bonxies did the same (with one north), a Mediterranean Gull flew south, 17 Little Auks headed north and a Puffin flew south. Elsewhere, the beach at South Dykes attracted six Sanderling.
