9th November 2015

Another day of strong southerly, later south-westerly winds, with an overcast morning preceding a brighter afternoon. During the seawatch, nine Red-throated Divers, two Pink-footed Geese, one Bonxie and an Arctic Skua flew north. Another Arctic Skua moved south, along with a Goosander and 683 Kittiwakes.

Thornwick Pools attracted 17 Whooper Swans, a Wigeon and single Tufted Duck and Pochard. A Swallow also flew south.
