All at Sea

A few hours spent sea watching from the fishing boats produced, 10+ Arctic Skuas, a steady stream of Gannets, a few Common and Sandwich Terns, 1+ Arctic Terns, 2 Common Scoter, 20+ Guillemots, 10+ Razorbills, 2 Mediterranean Gulls, a flock of 50+ Knot, 35+ Great-crested Grebes and a juv.Red-necked Grebe. Also a Merlin came in with some Mippits and a few Swallows and House Martins went out. On the beach the Yellow-legged Gull and Glaucous Gull.
The ARC was disappointing with 2 Dunlin and 10+ Snipe.
