4th March 2023

There were moderate/strong north-north-west winds throughout, with occasional sunny intervals and light showers; temperatures peaked at six degrees C. Seawatching was again the order of the day, with the second calendar-year Iceland Gull lingering off the outer head from 0920-1045hrs. A Blue Fulmar tracked north during the afternoon, when two Mediterranean Gulls flew south and a second calendar-year Caspian Gull rested on High Stacks. Elsewhere, Thornwick Lakes attracted eight Mute Swans, a Whooper Swan and a Little Grebe.
