Another day, another gale with this ones peak gust just a tiny tad short of Storm Force 10 of 47.59 knots at 1030 hrs but accompanied by a storm surge of 1.18 metre above predicted levels at high tide in the pm. Another assorted selection of vegetation damage in the observatory compound with several hours in the past week spent on just trying to tidy up. An hour sea watching early on produced southbound 9 Brent, 3 Red-throated Diver, 2 Oyk & Great Crested Grebe. Just 28 Cormorant headed out fishing early on were joined by another 190 coming in from the south in the far distance a while later having roosted we know not where.
