A rough morning with a
blazing strong force 8 westerly gale along with several vicious showers whipping
through so time was spent watching the sea where it was probably a bit too
windy for big numbers of birds with a late juvenile Arctic Tern, 2 Bonxies, 18 Kittiwakes, 7 Little Auks, a
Great-northern Diver and small numbers of Auks and Ducks.
The coast was difficult in the very windy conditions
(although it was sunny and the wind was almost imperceptively dropping) and
birds included a Jack Snipe, an adult Arctic
Tern in Verevågen, 3 Wheatears and a Lapland Bunting along with a few more
Little Auks, Razorbills and Kittiwakes passing by; the only other thing of note
really was the first Snow Bunting of
the autumn over the Radiomastene.
