A strong northerly wind persisted throughout the day, with occasional snow and sleet showers interspersed with sunny spells.
Highlights during the sea watch included 3 Little Auk, 2 Pom Skua, 4 Bonxie, 1 GN Diver, 44 RT Diver and 554 Fulmar including two blue morphs.
The two Nuthatch remained at South Dykes and were observed caching food, suggesting they are looking to hang around for a while yet. A Blackcap in a village garden was particularly noteworthy, as was a Red Kite which flew north over mid-dykes early morning.
