14th November 2020

 Weather:  SE force 4

A very sucessful sea watch considering the wind direction with 11 Red-throated Divers, 600 Common Scoter, 2 Gannets and over 50 auks, at least 28 of which were definitely Razorbills. The Brent were absent most of the day, then 155 turned up at the evening high tide with 2 Wigeon also in the swash. A Chaffinch called from Middle and was the only small migrant although a Redwing was heard over in the late evening. Thirteen Purple Sandpipers were counted, the most this season so far. 

 An unusual sight was one of the 3 Grey Herons  standing near the lookout.

 Seven Wrens were about and a Rock Pipit at the north end, plus the regular 1 or 2 Blackbirds and Song Thrushes.
