4th Oct

With a howling westerly wind all day the sea was fairly disappointing and the land was virtually unbirdable. Seven hours of seawatching produced just a Grey Plover, 15 Sanderlings, 417 Sandwich Terns, ten Arctic Skuas, two Sooty Shearwaters and 395 Gannets and also a White Stork which flew high and out to sea. A Merlin,100 Swallows, 42 House Martins and a Firecrest were the only birds of interest on the land.

Two Porpoises and a Grey Seal were seen offshore.
