We kept the chilly NNE breeze and although the sun broke through on occasion it still felt very wintery; most of the birds of note were over the sea which included a Great Skua, 18 Brent Geese, 2 Common Scoter, a good total of 2760 Cormorants heading out to feed, a Curlew, 2 Eiders, 2 Gannets, a Kittiwake and 130 Red-throated Divers.
On the land it was hard work with a Firecrest (a ringed bird, so presumably from last autumn which has wintered locally...or maybe not!), a Chaffinch, 2 Goldfinches and a cock Pheasant.
