The left-overs from the gales yesterday were logged today but the seabirds were not as numerous even though the winds had only slightly eased and veered to the north west. The 200 Gannets seen were mostly soon after dawn and few were still feeding later. Other totals today included 3 Manx Shearwaters, 10 Kittiwakes, 6 Common Terns, 2 Sandwich terns, 8 Guillemots, 5 Common Scoter and a single Red-throated Diver. Eighteen hundred Dunlin were counted with 150 Ringed plover, while 4 House Martins and a Swallow braved the wind.
