Bit grim early on with rain, sleet, snow and the temperature not much above freezing and when the wet stuff stopped the birding wasn't much better. At least 902 Cormorants headed out fishing into the snow & when the weather improved at least 1,000 big gulls were seen following shipping. What other movements there were consisted of southbound 8 Red-throated Diver, 3 Common Gull, Gannet & Golden Plover with northbound 7 Red-throats & Guillemot plus a Lapwing in off the sea. 21 Goldfinch went south to show that migration hasn't finished in this species yet, but as we know, they can keep trickling past up to xmas and even into early January some years.
