15th November


After yesterday which was a complete write-off with gale force winds and nasty showers throughout it was a much nicer day with bright sunshine and much lighter NW winds; 4 Whooper Swans flew over at dawn before a look at the sea produced single Black-throated Diver and Red-necked Grebe with very small numbers of the usual Ducks and Auks while a White-tailed Eagle was doing something very far out to sea, two Peregrines were fighting over the lighthouse and another was struggling with a decent sized kill, also very far out at sea.

                The area was pretty quiet in the afternoon despite the now pretty nice conditions with a Great Grey Shrike and a Short-eared Owl on Gunnarsmyra the only birds of note with decent flocks of Meadow Pipits, Rock Pipits, Fieldfares and Common Gulls scattered around.
 
Just a Mallard!
