A meagre sea watch this morning , highlight being the first Great Skua of the Autumn.
06.30-08.30 from the sea watch hide with AJG who kindly collated the numbers:
Common Scoter: 7E 2W 4 on sea
Fulmar: 1W
Gannet: 83 feeding offshore
Oystercatcher: 1W
Great Skua: 1E
Kittiwake: 6W
Sandwich Tern: 11W
Common Tern: 22W
Harbour Porpoise: 4+
Grey Seal: 1
Another 2 hr sea watch this afternoon was pitiful but at least the sun was shining.
A brief visit to Scotney which was covered in feral Geese including at least 30 Barnacle Geese which are presumably the first arrivals of the wintering flock, also 3 Common Sandpipers on the main lake.
