NE gale, snow covered, erratic heavy blizzards, wind chill -8. Photo above shows one nights blown sand on top of snow out the front of the obs. Bird wise plenty of gulls offshore but otherwise hard graft enlivened only by the appearance of a Pom Skua late morning. Also noted 6 Gannets & 3 Red-throated Divers north. A selection of birds around the feeders but nowt that don't live here.
