The weather comprised moderate westerly winds that gradually dropped in strength, sunny intervals and temperatures that reached seven degrees C. A Velvet Scoter flying north was the most notable sighting of the morning’s seawatch, which also featured thousands of Guillemots and increasing numbers of Razorbills.
The two Mute Swans remained, as did the Russian White-fronted Goose and two Pink-footed Geese. Surprisingly the Grey Phalarope re-appeared on Thornwick Pools, although late reports revealed it was present at the same location yesterday afternoon.
