Another stormy day with
seawatching and gulling the only reasonable options. Nearly six hours of
watching produced five Red-breasted
Mergansers, four Fulmars,
a Sooty Shearwater, a Snipe, two Great Skuas and singles of Little
and Mediterranean Gulls of note
and numbers provided by 344 Great
Crested Grebes, 1010 Gannets,
53 Kittiwakes and 192 auks (mostly Guillemots). An adult and a first-winter Caspian Gull and three Yellow-legged
Gulls were feeding and roosting at the Point.
