3rd March 2015

A moderate/strong south-west wind, temperatures reaching 4 degrees C, with sunny intervals and occasional snow flurries. Twenty-nine Red-throated Divers were on the sea off the Outer Head, two Common Scoters flew south there and a further 22 were off South Landing/South Dykes. No fewer than four Red-necked Grebes were present together off Sewerby and three drake Eiders were off South Landing, where the Bar-tailed Godwit was on the beach.
