24th October


A brisk southerly wind meant that most of the morning’s interest was on the sea where birds passing southwards included a pale phase adult Arctic Skua, 7 Red-throated Divers, 36 Common Scoter, 11 Velvet Scoter, 2 Dunlin, 51 Kittiwakes, 41 Guillemots, 200 Razorbills and 7 Little Auks while 3 Grey Wagtails and a Blackcap were the only other birds of note.

                Around the coast in the afternoon birds included more awesome views of the very relaxed Gyrfalcon perched out on Steinodden, a Sparrowhawk, a Peregrine, 34 Goldeneye, 5 Wheatears and 50+ Rock Pipits while a Great Grey Shrike at the Radiomastene was the only thing of note inland before the weather closed in mid-afternoon.
