9th December 2014

A light south-westerly wind strengthened during the morning, with overcast conditions throughout and temperatures barely exceeding 4 degrees C. The seawatch was quiet, with 17 Red-throated Divers on the sea, three Common Scoters flying south and two Kittiwakes moving north. A single Razorbill was present amongst fewer than 100 Guillemots.

The female Pintail was again on North Marsh, together with 27 Teal, whilst single Lapwing and Redshank were present on Thornwick Pool. Oceanview hosted a Grey Heron and one Chiffchaff.
