30th November 2022

An overcast day, with a light south-west wind and temperatures reaching five degrees C. Eight Shelduck flew south during the morning seawatch, with a Velvet Scoter north, 17 Little Gulls, three Little Auks and a Great Northern Diver north. Four Twite frequented the cliffs near the Fog Station where a lone Swallow remained. A flock of 13 Whooper Swans flew south over the village, while the ringtail Hen Harrier continued to hunt the outer head. Oceanview attracted a Little Owl, with 18 Snow Buntings on cliff top fields nearby.
