A moderate southerly wind
first thing quickly dropped off to virtually still by lunchtime; birds in the
Obs census area included a Ring Ouzel, a Woodcock, 6 Dunnocks, a Collared Dove,
one of the Tree Pipits still, 60 Meadow Pipits, 6 Wheatears, 5 Chiffchaffs, a
Goldcrest, a Chaffinch, 5 Bramblings, a flyover Lapland Bunting and a lingering
Snow Bunting. The flat calm seas
produced a Black-throated Diver in Nouster with 5 Great-northern Divers, 3
Red-breasted Mergansers and 4 Long-tailed Ducks while a 3cy Iceland Gull
was lingering off The Lurn and 12 Black-tailed Godwits were on Gretchen.
Three Swallows were lingering around the Obs in the
afternoon.
