Poor offshore but when a Black-throated Diver goes past one shouldn't really bemoan the lack of birds. Also southbound 14 Red-throated Diver, 20 Teal, 4 Black-headed Gull, 3 Wigeon, 2 Common Gull, 2 Curlew Bonxie, Brent & Mallard with northbound 17 Red-throats & 2 Shoveler. Deadly quiet around the site with a Greenfinch the best one could muster.

With the moth traps put away for the winter if one is suffering from moth deprivation delving around the buildings will produce the Herald. The moth traps are lucky to see them throughout the year (just one this year) but the buildings always hold a few hibernating in the winter months.
