A lovely day with light northerly winds and plenty of
sunshine (still cold though!); a productive two hour seawatch first thing
comprised a Black-throated Diver with 9 Great-northern Divers and 3 Red-throated
Divers, 922 Fulmars (with 11 Blue ones including a very dark, almost black
looking individual!), 45 Kittiwakes, 6 Puffins, a single Little Auk and 3,431 Auk sp. Other birds in the north included 14 Snow
Buntings, 4 Goldeneye and 5 Pintail.
The
Common Redpoll reappeared at The Lurn (presumably it will try and overwinter
now) along with 4 more Snow Buntings, 2 Great-northern Divers and 8 Tysties.
