23rd January 2022

A cloudy day, with a light south westerly wind. A Great Northern Diver flew north past the Fog Station during the morning, with other sea watch counts including nine Wigeon, 12 Common Scoter, 64 Red-throated Diver, 31 Fulmar, 38 Gannet, ten Razorbill, 40 Shag and a Kittiwake. Large numbers of Guillemots were present on the cliffs. A female type Black Redstart around the Fog Station is likely to be the bird seen at nearby High Stacks on 21st January. 60 Lapland Bunting remained in fields at Buckton, whilst a Great Northern Diver flew north-west past nearby Bempton.
