Excellent prolonged views of a Pom Skua this morning that even sat on the beach at one point. The gull numbers loafing on the near part of the docks is picking up recently allowing 5 Yellow-legged Gulls to be picked out (3 adults, 1 second-winter, 1 first-winter). Great visibility looking out to sea in cold grey conditions produced just 2 Red-throated Divers S + 1 N, 2 Shelduck N, 1 Gannet N plus assorted seagulls although the Kittiwake numbers are rapidly declining as is their want at this time of the year.
