Saturday 29th December 2018


After days of flat calm the breeze picked up & the visibility improved to make sea watching more amiable. In 80 minutes prior to litter picking commitments southbound 135 Kitts, 118 Common Gull, 43 Red-throated Diver, 29 Golden Plover, 9 Common Scoter, 2 Guillemot, 2 Oyk, 2 Wigeon, Fulmar, Mallard & Shelduck with northbound 8 Red-throats, 4 Brent, Gannet plus a Bonxie undertaking in some kleptoparasitism. The Fulmar record is notable and only our fourth December sighting since records began with previous ones on 24th & 31st (twice).
