30th December 2017

A largely overcast day, although with brighter periods later in the day, with a light/moderate westerly wind. During the seawatch, 13 Teal and two Blue Fulmars flew south, whilst a count of 200 Shags leaving the roost was larger than recent days. 

A Red-necked Grebe was located on the sea off South Landing, whilst 63 Great Crested Grebes frequented the sea between South Dykes and Sewerby. Two Lapland Buntings and a Snow Bunting were in cliff top fields at North Dykes.
