19/10/2023

As a blustery force 6-7 southerly wind was blowing this morning I felt sure we would be in for a good sea watch, sadly again this was not the case. 600+ Gannets were seen but I was expecting many more, not a single Shearwater and only a one Arctic Skua, this afternoon from the fishing boats was even poorer.

On the reserve at Burrowes, a single Spoonbill, a Goldeneye, 10 Grey Plover, c150 Golden Plover, 21 Dunlin, 2 Knot, a Redshank, a Ruff and fly through juvenile Little Gull were the highlights.
