Another nice day with
light westerly winds and varying amounts of cloud cover; changed my routine and
instead of going to nets I went for a seawatch which produced, in two hours, an
unprecedented flock of 55 Common Scoter (more
than double the previous island record count!), 36 Manx Shearwaters, 2 Storm Petrels (my first of the year), 195 Gannets, 2
Red-throated Divers, 45 Puffins and 1,544 Auk sp. That was pretty much it for the day as far
as migrants went with 4 Black-tailed Godwits on Garso the only other things to
mention.
