Still nice and sunny but
the blazing, cold, very strong NW wind made an unwelcome return; there were a
few bits on the sea first thing including 30 Red-throated Divers, a Fulmar, 10
Tufted Ducks, 2 Goosanders and another 314 Common Gulls still heading
north. The conditions made any other
birding through the day a bit of a mission though there was a build-up of 15
Swallows, 10 Sand Martins and a House Martin sheltering behind Lebeltet along
with 3 Chiffchaffs, a Willow Warbler and a male Merlin.
Chiffchaff
There's still Long-tailed Ducks lingering in the harbour, many of which are starting to turn into their breeding plumage - this one doesn't seem to want to though!
