Today’s weather was all about Storm Bert. A force eight southerly gale, gusting to storm force ten during the morning eased slowly during the afternoon and brought continuous, often heavy, rain. The temperature rose gradually through the day and reached 10°C by dark.
Understandably, due to the extreme weather, seawatching was the only form of birding attempted and even that was a struggle. The meagre totals included two Common Scoters, a Bonxie and a Great Northern Diver offshore.
