6th December 2021

A relatively overcast day, with a moderate south-westerly wind developing, rain arriving in the afternoon and temperatures reaching a meagre four degrees C. A dark-bellied Bent Goose flew south during the morning’s seawatch that also featured 5700 Guillemots and five Razorbills moving in the same direction. A Woodcock frequented South Dykes, whilst passerine interest included three Fieldfare, two Goldcrests, a Chiffchaff, one Brambling and a lone Snow Bunting, the latter on the cliff top adjacent to the Golf Course.
