Another poor early morning sea watch for AJG who kindly sent me the details:
06.00-07.00 from the fishing boats:
Common Scoter: 4W
Fulmar: 1W
Gannet: 16 feeding offshore
Fulmar: 1W
Ringed Plover: 2E
Oystercatcher: 8E
Sandwich Tern: 664W out of Lade Bay
The forecast is for the weather to get stormy next weekend so hopefully the sea watching will improve.
