6th December 2024

A relatively bright day, with a moderate west-north-westerly wind that dropped in strength and a peak temperature of seven degrees C. Nineteen Little Gulls, a Mediterranean Gull and a lone Puffin flew north during the morning’s seawatch. A flock of 61 Pink-footed Geese on the outer head were still accompanied by the seven Lesser White-fronted Geese and lone Russian White-front. The headland’s wetlands also hosted three Little Grebes, three Shovelers, 31 Tufted Ducks and three Water Rails. Two Woodcock and a Short-eared Owl were also in residence.
