A horrible day with a
blasting westerly bringing nasty showers in the morning and thick, drizzle murk
in the afternoon; there were thousands of birds offshore in the morning as
totals in 1.5hrs included 1,200+ Kittiwakes (on land and at sea), 1,167
Puffins, 1,700 large Auks, 340 Gannets, 20 Arctic Skuas, 11 Manx Shearwaters
and 2 Storm Petrels.
Huge numbers of roosting Kittiwakes at the foghorn
Which include good numbers of these very worn 2cy birds
This slightly darker mantled Lesser Black-backed Gull made me look twice but it was nothing special - maybe a touch of intermedius in there somewhere
More Kittiwakes - taken a few days ago
