Tuesday 1st November

Early mist and drizzle cleared quickly to reveal a sunny day, with a moderate north westerly wind.

The wind direction was conducive to an improved sea watch, with totals including 6 DB Brent, 1 Long-tailed Duck, 1 Great northern Diver, 57 RT Diver, 9 Bonnie, 4 Pom Skua and 7 Arctic Skua.

Thornwick Pools attracted 63 Teal, 3 Wigeon, Dunlin and 4 Snipe, with 2 Jack snipe and 2 Snow Bunting also logged on the outer headland.
