All at FBO wish all our supporters a very happy Christmas!

Cold winds backed from the north-west to the west during a largely sunny day, with temperatures remaining at one degree C through the morning rising to three degrees in the afternoon. A Great Northern Diver, 65 Common Scoters, 570 Fulmars and two ‘northern’ Herring Gulls flew north during the seawatch, with a Goldeneye moving south. Elsewhere, three Long-tailed Ducks remained off South Landing, Thornwick Pools hosted a Water Rail and Oceanview 50 Rock Pipits. Two dark-bellied Brent Geese frequented a flash on fields at Buckton.
