7th January 2021

A bright day, with a light north-westerly wind and temperatures reaching a mere three degrees C. A Great Northern Diver remained off the South Cliffs, whilst 29 Pink-footed Geese included a skein of 28 birds heading west. Wader interest included six Knot and two Woodcock. A flock of 45 Stock Dove was noteworthy, as were two Redwing, two Fieldfare and the long-staying male Black Redstart. The day’s highlight comprised a flock of 34 Lapland Buntings on the outer head.
