Monday September 14
Determined to find a seat, we arrived at 7.20 - and got the last two! In the far corner with a very restricted view but with the advantage of shelter from the wind and many expert eyes to call the passing birds. Tony Smith next door and Dave Holman nearby. We sat until 11.00, enough birds to keep us interested with nothing like the quantity of Kittiwakes and gannets of yesterday. BUT, much more variety.
25+ Bonxies
1 Arctic Skua
1 adult Pomarine Skua
2 Long-tailed Skuas
20+ manx Shearwaters
1 Sooty Shearwater
3 Little Gulls
1 Shag
Many Puffins with fewer Guillemots and Razorbills,
Several small flocks of Scoter, Wigeon and Teal, a solitary Tufted Duck and the one and only first Brent Goose of the Autumn
10+ Red-throated Divers, some in full summer plumage, 1 Great Northern Diver.and 1 Black-throated Diver.
several Fulmar.
A most enjoyable session. No Leach's.............
