A big change in the weather with the winds swinging back
into the west and dying down to almost nothing for a while but the change
brought waves of mist, murk and drizzle which drifted in and out through the
day; a seawatch first thing before the weather closed in produced a Sooty Shearwater, 526 Fulmars (with one Blue one), 6
Great-northern Divers, 65 Gannets, 18 Kittiwakes and single Little Auk
and Puffin with 674 Auk sp.
There were then 13 Pintail, 17 Gadwall and a Merlin around Bewan.
Other
birds included a Water Rail around the Obs, still one Common Redpoll on the
coast at The Lurn and 2 Pink-footed Geese by Holland before a look round
Southness / Brides produced a Fieldfare, 7 Redwings, 4 Meadow Pipits, 2
Skylarks and 2 more Pintail while offshore there were 6 Red-breasted Mergansers
and 9 Long-tailed Ducks.
