The weather consisted of moderate/strong north-east winds, frequent snow showers throughout and temperatures hovering around zero degrees. Although the morning’s seawatch was quiet, with the vast majority of birds flying south including a higher proportion of winter-plumaged Guillemots than of late – perhaps indicative of birds from further afield. There were also further signs of cold weather displacement on the headland itself, including a Lapwing, four Ringed Plovers, 15 Woodcock, 43 Fieldfare and three Redwing.
