25th January 2016

A moderate southerly wind and generally bright, but overcast conditions. The main feature of the seawatch was a record January count of Guillemots: 34,000 flew south, 2000 moved north and an additional 500 were offshore, whilst only two Razorbills were  noted.

A northerly movement of Pink-footed Geese occurred, with a total of 360 crossing the Headland in three skeins. The only other noteworthy sighting consisted a Stonechat at North Landing.
