Cold & dull. 9 Red-throated Divers north & a Shelduck south. Fairly grim returns but it's not all that bad with c1,000 seagulls to look at in the harbour area following ships (+ another 1,000 a long way out). Interestingly many of the Herring Gulls are pairing up & loitering around favoured nesting sites in the docks but only one Lesser Black-back seen this morning as they haven't even contemplating returning so far. With a northerly air flow due this coming week then if we are going to get any big white winged gulls then now's the time. Finally the Sanderling is still on the beach.
