In the storm today sea watching was really the only thing to do.
From the hide this morning and the fishing boats this afternoon1,000+ Gannets and 100s of Kittiwakes and Cormorants dominated the sea, highlights for me were Sooty Shearwater and Velvet Scoter, a couple of Bonxies and frustrating view of skua that I believe was probably a juvenile Pomarine Skua, also several Fulmars, Red-breasted Mergansers and Red-throated Divers but I managed to miss all the Sabines Gulls old age catching up with me.
