On the beach a Razorbill came ashore and eventually made its way up the beach to settle between my feet out of the wind. Sadly on close inspection the bird does have a lot of oil on its underparts and will probably end up dinner for a Great Black Backed Gull.
The beach fisherman were catching Whiting and when they through them back the stunned fish were soon picked off by the Gulls.

On the sea still several hundred Great Crested Grebes being joined by 100+ Cormorants and many Auks dropping in to feed for a while. The Caspian Gull was again showing well though the Glaucous Gull is sometimes more elusive but showed in the end.
