16th Nov

A quieter day offshore and not a great deal in the way of new birds on the land. A Jack Snipe was seen in the regular pool site and two Firecrests were seen in the Trapping Area.

Seawatching in the slightly calmer conditions produced a Velvet Scoter, 1119  Gannets, an adult Mediterranean Gull, a first-winter Caspian Gull and nine Sandwich Terns and at least two Merlins hunting offshore.

A Porpoise and a Common Seal were seen offshore.
