Moderate south-westerly winds throughout daylight hours strengthened towards dusk; sunny intervals predominated after an overcast start and temperatures reached seven degrees C. The morning seawatch was quiet, although tens of thousands of Guillemots were present once more, with the majority flying south.
The Grey Phalarope lingered on Thornwick Pools, where two Mute Swans also dropped in. Three Mistle Thrushes and two Redwing were notable, but the day’s highlight related to a Raven initially seen over the Lighthouse and then flying south past the Seawatch Observatory.
